I use a 1-gallon and a 2-gallon plastic gas can (one for regular fuel and one for fuel/oil mix) to store my fuel and I have never had a problem with the fuel going bad. However, it is known that fuel will get stale after 30 days - that may be where your problem lies. Get a smaller container if you don't use very much fuel in a 30-day period. Or, you might try adding a fuel stabilizer product with your fuel.
