The assessment of the suitability of fuel delivered to fuel bases and forecasting the maximum time of safe storage in specific storage capacities is a key element of an efficiently functioning storage system. Paper presents the results of research of long-term stability of liquid fuels, which, according to the authors, is crucial in the process of refreshing and rotation of fuels stored as tactical reserves of the Armed Forces. In addition, an analysis of the impact of selected factors on the increase in the intensity of ageing mechanisms is presented.
