Hi all ,I have the opertunity to get about 300 gal. of old diesel fuel. When I say old I mean old 15-20 years old. What Do you think? I also got 4 gal. of old two cycle gas/oil mix. The only problem i ran into is one of the plastic jugs had blue two cycle in it.........so i thought. after dumping in the tank i read the side of the jug.......concentrated pond dye. It was gas and oil but some residue on the bottom of the jug mixed in. do you think this will be a problem? will it smoke blue

I would mix like a gallon or two in each 50 gallon fill up, just to be safe.

1990 was a good year for diesel fuel, burn that on a special occasion.http://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/...on_biggrin.gif

it will burn...just have some extra filters ready for impurities that have collected... the pond dye I would recomend using a water filter to filter out that filter... then burn a mix of regular with it... Just my opinion... its your truck

Before you use that old diesel...FILTER, FILTER, FILTER. It may have algee and water in it.

Mix it with new diesel and add a couple gallons of regular gasoline in it for pep.

If you have some clean used motor oil put some of that in for heat.

I burned old fuel oil in my Benz for almost a year with no problems but the guys are right filter it well.

The name Stampy was given to my first CJ5 by a friend after I got "stuck " in a thicket of small trees on my property . I wasn't stuck for long and the trees did not survive the ordeal.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.

There are alge killers available too. RUN IT MAN!! It will be dark but it will smell sooo nice!

Not that it has much to do about it, I once drove an M54A2C from Ft Myers FL to Naples FL after is sat for 10 years. Made it half way before it burst into flames. It ran fine for the 20 miles it lasted.

Kenny, that couldn't have been due to old diesel. Musta had some sort of leak.

I did pick up some alge killer. From what I could see in the tank it looks like rootbeer. I am going to run it through the filter bag set up
