Should I have the same concern for fuel for my diesel fuel as I have for
my gasoline regarding stability?


Not as much as gas, but over time, yes. There are additives for diesel,
especially if it is stored in the cold and you expect to use it when cold.


I have not experienced the biological issue that I have heard of, but once
when using some very old diesel, it ran fine but clouds of white smoke
poured out of the tailpipe. Not just when cold, but for the entire tank.
