[SEL] Oil for Oil engines

[Kerry]

Peter when I got some Jet A, I was told it would not deteriate in a way that 
would effect running of kero engines, I was told that the fuel has a shelf 
life for aircraft when sealed in 200lt (44gl) drums of only 12 months this 
is because of the chance of moisture ingress causing aircraft engine to 
fail.
Hard to believe when I saw the sealing of the drum but, they must know 
better.
