Default V power/Methanol Mix - How long before the fuel loses its qualities?

As above

just wondering how long it can be safely kept in a tank before it loses its properties?

and also how long before straight v powe ron its own loses its octane level?

Cheers

I am no chemist but I have had a meths canister for over a year and it still does the job! (I don't use it in my car though) I would imagine the petrol would deteriorate quicker than the additive

My car was off the road for just over a month and didn't have any issues, thats V-power/10% meth. Prob best to have the tank on the low side.
