i wouldnt!, i would go get the bottle checked out at your nearest filler upper before i would even think about it. It like paint balling, after a certain time on the high grade bottles you need to get them inspected and so on.

Follow up, talked to guy who has been shooting since the 70's and is a NOS certified refill station and he said it is fine given the stabilizers and pressure in bottle...so there is our "non-paintball related" answer

^ I've heard mixed stories. Some swear that you should get a fresh refill, some say it's perfectly fine to spray with older juice. A refill doesn't cost too much, so I'd personally go with that... just in case. A new engine costs a hell of a lot more. Just food for thought.

If it was "bad", i'd assume it wouldn't be any stronger than normal. I personally wouldn't worry about it, just use it lightly and see what's up. Doesn't take long to go through a bottle anyway, let it run down a little, and if you're worried, drain it completely before having it filled again.
