* Same long term storage issues as diesel. I think the point Keith was making is that by JP8 not having any biodiesel in it would make it less likely to attract water and therefore should last longer. *http://www.intertek.com/petroleum/testing/jet-fuel/storage-degradation/

There is a good possibility that the fuel used to fuel those MV's was already pretreated with a biocide. Fuel Technologies International claims to be a DOD supplier: "...That is why the US military and leading aircraft authorities choose Microbicide 1.5 to protect their stored diesel fuel...

Should I Be Using Additives In My Stored Diesel Fuel? While researching biocide toxicity in diesel fuel exhaust (really not much out there that I can find) I found a good overview on diesel fuel additives (Should I Be Using Additives In My Stored Diesel Fuel). Here is an excerpt from the...

Out of curiosity, I decided to look into the toxicity of PS Bio Kleen and found the Material Safety Data Sheet on it (see attached). I could not find any specific cautions about an increased toxicity effect when using it as intended (via diesel exhaust). Actually, in its original concentrated...

No worries unless your running your gen set in a garage or under a vented roof overhang, etc. When running mine outdoors on M116a trailer with tarp I make sure side and end tarp is fully rolled up full open and I never spend any time in front of exhaust flow. Of course in Colorado there is...

Is the drum going to remain sealed and then later opened and transferred via pump as needed or are you going to have it plumbed up to your generator via a drum adaptor kit or something like that (vented). Also, are we talking pure petro-diesel with no BioDiesel added? Regardless, since it is 55...

Yep there is a warning label on BioKleen contents to not inhale, get on skin or ingest it. I find all combustion exhaust fumes toxic with enough direct inhalation exposure. Although, I'm sure any Biocide bumps it up a notch.

Need to know the circumstances. Is the fuel already purchased? What is "long term" going to be in this case? 6 months, 1 year or? Also, how is it being stored? In a generator's fuel tank, jerry cans, sealed 55 gallon drum, or? Your in a pretty dry low humidity climate, except in winter, so...
