Getting back to the subject ....

I'll let ya'll in on my master plan. I am not conserving diesel fuel. I
am hoarding it.
Between both boats, I've got close to 1000 gallons of diesel. I am
going to wait a couple of more years, then sell it by the gallon on E-bay
and make a fortune.

On a serious note - does diesel go bad like untreated gas?

I've been told no. You *do* have to treat it with a biocide, particularly
in warm climates, to avoid having little "critters" growing in it. I left
my boat unused in Florida for almost two years with full fuel tanks. Before
bringing it back north I had the fuel polished as a precaution (a process
of running the fuel through a set of filters to remove critter growth).
Turns out it was not necessary ... the regular Racor filters would have
handled the small amount of crap in the fuel without becoming clogged.

Otherwise, it does not "go bad".
