Don’t forget a little biocide if you’re talking long term storage. Diesel likes to grow schmutz if there’s any hint of moisture content.

I’ve heard about that but have used 5 gal plastic cans that don’t “breathe” for 10 years without it.

I occasionally look into an empty one, but the interiors seem to be clean. I rarely store past 6 months and am sure to rotate my stock.

The outsides have some tough to clean off growths, so maybe I should try some biocide on the outsides.

Something to add to the go-to-the-store list.
