Had the day off so worked several hours on it. Got fuel out, changes filters, put oil in, got front accessories bolted on, radiator in along with fan, harness on and built up some HPO in rails. Still need to get intercooler pipes on and fresh fuel in then go from there.

I had fuel sit that long. Depends on how you are with additives. If you use them and are liberal in their application, its probably fine. It also depends on what kind of fuel we are talking. Is it dino diesel or bio?

LOL the truck I just sold sat for 5 years, it ran fine, sucked it out and threw it in my deuce with some 2 stroke oil. I wouldnt even blink if it's been sitting a year.

I have a 55gal barrel that had kerosene in it but now i fill it with diesel for those mornings i want to top it off or the CC isnt working at the pump. It sat for almost a year when i was out of the house and ive never totally emptied it. Ive never had issues but i know they do exist. Jake sees a lot of skidtanks and transfer tanks out in the field so he's probably seeing worst case scenarios for fuel staying clean.

Just straight recycled dinosaur.

Ok guys, got new fuel in, cranked for a little bit and it started.

But got a problem. It's throwing a CEL and running rough.

I get it started, runs fine then about 20 seconds or so light comes on and what I call default mode and runs like a miss. Computer is seeing a reading or something it's doesn't like. Didn't have a scanner with me so don't know the code.

I had a similar problem before I pulled the engine. But at that time CEL only came on when I gave it some throttle. Now it stays on all the time. Turn engine off, and light will go away.
I'm hoping it has something to do with the engine harness. I got another one a while ago but that one has a few glowplug terminals burnt.
