Interesting.  Being a skeptic at heart I can relate to the concept of Big Adative being snakeoil...

Being a skeptic though I can go either way on things too!   ;D

Interesting. I had no idea diesel had a shelf life of over 5 yrs. And I'm rather surprised to find gas has a 2 yrs shelf life. I haven't done a ton of research, but I was always under the impression one year was about it, then the BTU's started to drop significantly. It would burn, but not as efficiently.

The one downside I see to his set up is volume. That's probably a 250-300 gal gas tank and 500 for the diesels. He should be good on diesel, but I can envision going through the gas rather quickly. Especially running the roads checking on the kids/grandkids after an emp.

 He did say that the gas is non ethenol and 93 octane.  The size is to that specific  person one has to do what one can do.

My gout has been acting up and that has me distracted. As a result i allowed the fuel in my commuter to get dangerously low.
So I went ahead and poured in 5 gallons of gas that was a year old. Car ran the same as with fresh gas.

FWIW...
