Ever tried to use some old gas in your lawn mower?
Chiming in on this one: Gasoline itself is not shelf stable. If its stored poorly it can go bad as quickly as a few weeks. Stored properly, it can go for longer but it has the tendency to still go bad after half a year. Kerosene starts to behave weird after a while, due to condensation, and I've not done much research on natural gas but in a bug out situation I wouldn't expect it to last long. I've got more concerns about the integrity of the containers that fossil fuels tend to be stored in.
