Popis:	The European quality standards for diesel fuel suggest that its characteristics should correspond to the special design of diesel engines and to their operating cycle after long-term fuel storage as well. Changes in the properties of diesel fuel with time under different conditions of storage of fuel containers were analyzed in this study. Three-year-long monitoring revealed that only the flash point of the diesel underwent significant changes, becoming below the limiting minimum temperature. The introduction of an appropriate additive elevates the flash point to the required level, thereby making it eligible for service again.
