I retrieved (found) 2 metal jerry cans of diesel (possibly 40L) berried in the back of the garage today must be at least 6 years old, is it still usable?

In a nutshell, use it for lighting your bonfires.

Thanks Rob & Greasemonkey ,looks like I’m going to have some big bonfires.

never had a problem with old diesel. petrol I have after a couple of months

I would happily run it in my stuff. mix it with fresh if your unsure.

were dealing with old engines so there tolerances are less than new stuff

Whilst I am no Diesel expert, I think I would go along with Billy739. I was going to say so, but felt I would get shot down in flames I wonder if say a mix of 4 parts fresh to 1 part "old" would actually do any real harm? I hate wasting stuff

I have used stuff which is 10+ years old without an issue.

although it does seem darker and slightly thicker!

use a filter on the funnel and leave a dribble in the base of the can as that will have any dirt / water in it.

I must admit that I have used 5+ year old diesel without a qualm and no noticeable effects.
