How long does it take for diesel to go bad in a parked truck?

Chris Grant bought that right? All the cool kids seem to know about that truck but I'm out of the loop

 

Neal Dykman from MO originally owned it. Back in the early 2000’s it was one of the first “less is more” trucks with a real clean look. How it looks now is how it looked back then. Some guy in WA bought it about 8 years ago, touched up the paint and some other things, and parked it. Then one Friday it popped up on TruckPaper and on Monday I was flying out to pick it up for Chris.

 

That’s what it looked like back in 2004.

 

That is a beautiful truck. I wish I could figure out the less is more thing for myself, but I'm a sucker for lights..

 

Depends on the amount on biodiesel%
Bio will make algae grow as it thrives on moisture especially if tank is not full
Nasty garbage

 

I had E350 Ford diesel vans that had been sitting for 3 - 4 years and still started and ran fine. Diesel fuel is essentially oil, it isn't like gasoline which has volatile components that evaporate off. The only real thing that can happen with diesel fuel and fuel oil is algae growth.

 

Probably a better chance of the fuel disappearing then going bad at the prices happening these days.

 

I'm using 5 year old gasoline in my lawnmower. It takes a couple extra pulls to start, but eventually it goes. Gas usually goes long before that. Diesel can last many years under the right conditions, or it can last a very short time under the wrong conditions. It's a crap shoot.
