Do everything wrong and you are looking at as short as 6 months to maybe a year. Do everything right and you can get ten years or more.
Doing it right involves buying pre-treated fuel that meets certain standards. Fuel tank design/installation plays a part. Regular testing, treatment, polishing/filtering, and having the right type of filters near point of usage is required. Keep your tanks full too.
P.S. don't forget to treat day tanks like storage tanks. Main thing is keep that fuel clean, cool, and dry. For example, above ground tanks in sunny/hot/humid climates is a poor choice.
