So you\u2019ve got some fuel you want to hold onto. Or\u2026 maybe you\u2019ve found an old barrel tucked away that Y2K prepper stored in 1999. Diesel fuel DOES have a shelf life. So, let\u2019s answer that question. After that, look for a guide on how to store it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long can you store diesel?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a general rule, open diesel fuel can last up to 1 month. If you have stored the diesel in a sealed container indoors or it is in a vehicle tank, it will last 6 months with no treatment. If you have treated the fuel with biocides and stabilizers, it will last 12 months. Longer than 12 months, it will require more maintenance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
