What is the recommended storage temperature range for fuels?

The recommended storage temperature range for fuels is between 50°F to 85°F because this range helps to maintain the stability and integrity of the fuel. Storing fuels at temperatures that are too low can result in the formation of waxes, especially in diesel fuels, which can clog fuel lines and filters. Conversely, higher temperatures can lead to increased volatility, which can result in vapors that pose safety risks and the potential for fuel degradation. By adhering to the 50°F to 85°F range, fuel can be preserved effectively, ensuring it remains usable without compromising its quality or performance in engines and machinery. This temperature range is generally considered optimal for preventing issues related to both physical properties and chemical reactions of fuels during storage.
