jay2578:
right guys, bit thick i know, but does diesel go stale? :? got over half a tank in the 200 but its been in there for 10 months, if it dont im gonna stick it in the td5

disco2 td5:
diesel does not go off so if i were you id chuck it in the td5. petrol starts to lose its octains after about 3 weeks and smells like varnish after about 6 months at this point you will strugle starting a petrol

jay2578:
cheers mate, exactly what i wanted to hear  :grin:

bravo669:
diesel should be fine, but  would petrol still go off if it were sealed in a tank though?

disco2 td5:
if theres no air in the tank it wont go off but if theres a tiny bit of air it goes off you can tell with the smell its like a varnish/ nail varnish remover it stinks. plus insted of being clear it goes like a cloudy colour.
