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


I don't think diesel has a shelf life if you can keep it DRY. What makes
diesel grow algae is a thin layer of water under it. The algae lives in
that surface layer, eating the diesel and drinking the water.

Should last indefinately, but, more realistically, it's nearly impossible
to keep diesel dry...especially near the ocean. Topped off every time, of
course, is best....
