As I prepare to winterize my 6TBA’s and as a first time diesel owner I’ve searched the forum looking for information regarding the storage and conditioning of diesel fuel and have not found anything significant. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place?
When using gasoline in other boats I typically use Startron(ethanol treatment) when adding fuel to the boat during the season and Stabil at the time of layup.
In short I don’t understand if and how diesel fuel should be maintained.
Is there a recommend additive cycle for diesel fuel?

Nada, āshelf lifeā of #2 is plenty stable for our off season here in the northeast. I throw some fresh fuel in her sometime before haul out to put the level at 3/4 or so and donāt even think about the chemistry of it…
