Best Answer

Technically you can store diesel for about 12-18 months at around 65 degrees. At any temperature higher than 85 degrees you can store it for around 6 to 12 months. But in the real world about 12 months is the limit no matter the temperature.

Short answer? It won't! Not even for a little while. Long answer... If you screw up and accidentally pour some unleaded into a fuel tank that is partially filled with diesel, it MIGHT run... IF you haven't diluted the diesel fuel too much. Back in the old days, truckers would sometimes mix a little gasoline into their diesel fuel in the winter to help prevent low-temperature gelling. These days, diesel fuel is winterized seasonally, and most diesel trucks and cars come with fuel system heaters to prevent gelling anyway.
