    Diesel shelf life

    Having just completed a trip from Melbourne to FNQ and back with a spare 20l jerry of diesel which I never used thanks to the LRA tank, I'm wondering how long I've got to use that fuel before it goes off (if indeed it ever does ?).

    I,ve had diesel in drums that was 4 year old. Couldnt tell the difference when used...

    Should safely get 12 months out of it. Maybe if keeping longer add a growth inhibitor to keep algae growth out. The lower sulphur content sees modern fuel go off quicker.

        G`day,
        What ZOOM said. Just use it and refill the can next time you go away.
        Cheers,

          Using it was my original intention, just wanted to make sure it was ok. Thanks for the replies and to Dicko for the extra info.
