US Army schools kill the ability to drive. I just pray I make it through OCS...

I don't have to worry about the diesel going bad like gas, right?

Hope that I won't have to worry about that too much, being out in the desert.

I would just make sure the tank is full, and you will have no problems.

I just pumped the last 25 gallons of diesel out of my barrel that was over 2 years old. All I did was treat the fuel with Howes when I put it in there. It was good as new 2 years later. 3 months is nothing.

Yup, topped it off today. First time in a long time I haven't spent $100 for 23 gallons of fuel.

Thanks y'all. One less thing to worry about then. Yet another reason to be a diesel supporter.
