Larry,
How long should diesel last if the tank is topped up with no void for
condensation ?



Diesel lasts pretty well forever, it doesn't have nearly the volatiles
that gasoline has and it doesn't have alcohol in it to soak up water. I
have used ancient diesel without any problems and you can use it as fire
starter as well, or solvent, it's much safer stuff.


Diesel fuel attracts moisture, and that moisture does most of the
damage you see in diesel fuel systems. Because diesel fuel attracts
moisture, the alcohol statement is moot.
