I've had no problem using 5 year old stored diesel, by adding it to a nearly empty tank immediately before full refuel.

I did this immediately before a long journey, so the old fuel was both well diluted, and consumed quickly.

No ill effects whatsoever, and fuel economy remained as per normal.

Thanks LS, that's good to know for both now and the future.

I'm pretty sure that it will be OK, the Diesel itself looks fine, not cloudy, no growths and all properly stored inside a Nato jerry.

Also the advantage of the Defender is that Land Rover actually de-tune the engines to allow them to cope with lower quality fuel that may be used in third world nations where many of these vehicles still end up.
