diesel and propane are the only fuels you can store long term. i have a pto gen which is much cheaper since i didn't have to buy a power plant with it. it will run our whole place . 600 gals of diesel will run my kubota tractor for a long time.

And that 5% "convenience" is added into the products we all purchase!

Diesel can and will support algae inside it. You still need to add an anti-fouling chemical / stabilizer. We used to add in K-1 Kero - we had 5000 gallon storage and we'd dump in 5 gallons K-1 and also an anti-gelling product. Here at the wifes family farm we only keep 250 gallons and turn it over a couple times a year. Still add an anti-gel product though.
