Storing fuel
« on: October 23, 2018, 01:21:38 PM »
I’m looking at storing some fuel, both diesel and petrol at my brother’s  property. Does anyone use stabilisers or have experience with how long  fuel can be stored please?

 :cheers:

There are quite a lot of fuel stabilsers on the market for both petrol and diesel. I'd add a fungicide to the diesel if the additive you choose doesn't have one. Maybe also buy your fuel from a reputable brand that has high turnover. In any event, it looks like 12 months is about it.
