Thank you! I want to be as thorough as is reasonable and would prefer not to take the radiator out if I do not need to do so. I did see the well nut issue, thank you for mentioning it, and that was on my list from a "while I am at it" standpoint. I took the line for the drain apart up to...

That is what I will need to do. I tried welding wire but it will not go past the cock. I tried compressed air and it made air bubbles in the tank. Odd. Anyhow I used a 12v pump to get most of it out and just need to get the rest of the old fuel out. Are the tank steel or plastic? If they...

Correct the tank bulkhead. I will try some welding wire and or blowing compressed air back into the tank as the fuel in it has gotten to that funky diesel fuel stage and may be trapping debris with messy fuel at the bottom.

I am trying to drain the tank itself so I can dispose of the fuel in the tank and replace with fresh prior to replacing the filters. I believe there is a water filter and fine filter in two housings, one spin on water and the other in a bowl type set up. Running trashy fuel through new filters...
