I recently mixed stored diesel 1:1.5, approximately, with fresh for a trip to Catalina. Motored over; nothing bad happened that I could detect. I’ve been wishing to use the stored stuff which I bought during the hype over fuel availability a couple of years ago. Yes, stored in containers in my garage for about two years. Probably not a brilliant idea, but I wonder about claims that the shelf life of diesel is only a few months, and that it requires maintenance. Of course, I inspected it for color and turbidity before using. It looked and smelled normal. It’s in there and it seems fine. Is there any experience having done this? I always question the “on-line experts” with websites who nix such ideas, probably not having had direct experience. I sometimes wonder what these guys really know, versus passing along what “everybody knows.”
