I have several gallons of diesel fuel that has been stored in a couple of 5 gallon fuel cans for 7 months. The cans have been stored in my garage, and the fuel visually looks and smells good.
Is there any reason it would be unwise to use this in my Dodge CTD?

I had one Diesel truck that sat for 6 years and fired right up on the old Diesel. It was treated before storing with a anti- algae treatment.

Diesel doesn't go bad for years. I have fuel in my generator that is well over 3 years old.

I routinely use diesel that is over 3 years old.
My neighbor used diesel fuel that was over 10 years old. Make sure it is filtered and dry.
