Since when has fuel needed conditioning?
It’s a question we’ve heard time and time again. It used to be fine to store diesel for 20 years and it worked perfectly. But since 2011, diesel became a blend of petrochemical diesel and FAME, a biological element that reduces the environmental damage caused by burning the fuel.
