BD doesn't "lose strength" over time. The problem with long term storage is oxidation.
it produces organic acids that can attack metal parts in your fuel system. Fuel quality has a major impact on the speed at which oxidation occurs.
Oxidation can be controlled by several methods, all of which add cost to your BD; however, the best and cheapest control is keep storage to 45 days or less.
