Perfect. You can even use "out of date" stuff, might not burn well in your Mercedes, your Fiat/Cummins Turbo Diesel, your Government Motors Duramax, or your Ford Powerstroke, but it will serve nicely for turning the AntiChrist into a Chrispy Critter.
I keep a goodly supply of gas too but I rotate it more diligently than the diesel.
This came in quite handy after Hurricane Ike when no fuel was to be had for a week or so.
