does diesel go stale?

<< < (2/3) > >>

bilge rat:
deisel can get a bacterial bug iff its left a long time, more common on marine engines . alan..

stretchy:
while we are on the subject a pal of mine said that I can add my old engine oil a bit at a time to my diesle tank and burn it of, is this ok??

jay2578:
well it tasted like diesel  :->! got about £60 worth and there is probably a bit left in the old girl yet :grin:

Range Rover Blues:
Bio deisel goes off.  If you store a petrol car you can get additives to prevent the fuel going off/protect the tank.

dxmedia:
I started a cat d1 about 2 years ago which hadn't been run for many many many years. Had half a tank of diesel in it, so got the donkey engine running on fresh petrol, swung the main engine over and bang, bit of smoke but she was running.

Diesel will keep for years (at least 20 ;) )
