Diesel Cans

[Bush_Master]

Living in Florida I usually store around 100 gallons of unleaded gas for the vehicles and generators because it is a pain to try and get it after a storm... Well now I have a diesel truck. My question is what can I add to the diesel to store it for possibly up to 6 months to keep it from going bad?
Thanks for your help.

Can anybody tell me if I need to put anything in my tank to keep my diesel from going bad? If so, what should I use? With gas I use "Stay-bilt" and it has lasted a year. Thanks for any help in advance...

You maybe able to use some of the regular stuff we add all the time. Any of the Cetane boosters. Also, I think they have a treatment for diesel that is old, helps keep down anything that might grow in there. But, I am not sure what it is called.

Try bio-bore or sta-bil. Any local auto store should have an additive.

How about using 20 5 gallon containers, and rotate three every time you fill up? Put the oldest into the truck, go to the fuel station, fill three and top up the truck's tank?

What helps the most is getting filled with good quality fuel.

Diesel Kleen is also a diesel fuel stabilizer. Get the grey bottle. Most addatives contain a stabilizer in them. If you use diesel kleen it will stay good your 6 months no problem. I hope this helps
