how long does biodiesel last?

I have about 20 gallons of biodiesel that has been sitting on the side of my garage for 2 years. Anyone know if its any good still. Went threw the chicago seasons & the sun has hit as well. I did a google search and read about a year. Figured I'd ask the experts here. If not, how can I dispose of it? Thanks

The number I have read is "six months." I would not use something that has been sitting in the sun for two years. If you have some kind of consumer hazardous materials disposal place, they should take it.

Its not a hazmat, its biodegradable fuel. Use it to kill some weeds, I wouldn't put it in any engine I own

Thanks for the replies. I didnt it would kill weeds. Maybe thats why all the grass is dead around the containers. doh. Good thing too, I have a property that I need to redo the parking lot and it has a lot of weeds growing through it. Works out perfect.
