Old diesel?

Lt.Dan · Jan 15, 2017

Hey guys, my truck has been sitting for 18 months, finally got it back running again. The truck wouldn't run at first until i found out that diesel goes bad after about 6 months to a year. So i drained the tank, filled it with a fresh 5 gallons, and changed both pre and post fuel filters.

But now im having a problem as the rear tank has another 5 gallons of diesel that im assuming is bad. Is there any kind of additive to add to it and make it okay to use, or do i need to drain the tank and do the same as the front tank?

Thanks guys!

Drain it...mix with old used oil to burn leaves and brush. Its no good for consumption.

Id drain it.

Should i drop the tank and clean it? Or just drain and refill?

Do you have a fuel system or just stock stuff?

If you empty the tank and pour some dope in there. Seafosm or a whole bottle of power services for biodiesel and then fill it you should be ok. But if you are handy and you can get the tank out, might be a good idea.
