Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel...winter storage
They have been selling ULS fuel in Europe for years. There is no problem
with deteriation. The ULS fuel is superior to what was sold before. However,
diesel fuel must have an anti-waxing agent in cold weather just as before.
If you have summer fuel in the tank, anti-waxing additive can be purchased
from any heating fuel distributer.

Since this is the fuel (most likely) in our tanks now, are there any
different measures needed for winter storage ?
It was suggested to me that ULS diesel fuel deteriorates more rapidly, so
it was better not to top off the tank, but to fill in the spring with
fresh fuel, and deal with any moisture/water then.
However, my local fuel oil supplier said he hadn't heard anything about a
short shelf life for ULS diesel.
Anyone know anything about this ?
