What is the shelf life?

My last gallon lasted about 20 years, longer than the store where I bought it. I've kept it in the garage so it has been frozen several times a year. It finally quit pumping a week ago. I was a bit pissed, but found it was finally empty. I'm 82 and this kind of stuff has been around since I was a little kid. There's nothing better than Fast Orange.

What is the "microgel technology"? I don't want to buy this if it has microbeads due to the potential for plastic particle water pollution. Thanks.

This site answers your question better than I can. http://m.autoserviceprofessional.com/article/92442/hand-cleaner-with-microgel-technology In short... "The use of MircroGel Technology also helps Permatex Fast Orange Hand Cleaner to easily meet new VOC regulations well in advance of the EPA 2013 compliance deadline, which restricts the use of citrus-based (orange oil) solvents."

Does this soap kill bacteria?

The product does not specifically state that it kills any kind of germs/bacteria. But it does contain alcohol which I would imagine kills some germs. Probably not enough to address your concerns though.

Does this remove the smell of gasoline on hands?

I can't speak specifically to the smell of gasoline, but we use kerosene at our plant and our guys are happy with the results of removing the kerosene smell...as well as many, many other oil/lubricant products. I recommend!
