A buddy of mine is givin me a few cans of BG44K. He's had them for a while and the date on the bottom is 6/21/07. Does this mean they have expired? If so, what negative effects can there be if i use them? thanks guys...

Just solvents plus detergents.

I heard some was found in a clay jar in an Egyptian Pharoah's Tomb.......along with the secret formula. Part of the embalming process.

Just kidding, however over the years they have changed the detergents from tests to try to guessimate the changes in gasoline.

I woudl say that stuff has a shelf life of at least 5 years. Im sure the date on the can was the "born on" date.
