Hi All,
I inherited a 115 gallon fuel storage tank that was purchased new by a family member to store diesel fuel. It was manufactured in July 2004. It was used very little and I have had it for 9 years sitting outside. It is aluminum and in very good shape on the outside. There is a about a quart of "something" inside. My plan is to drain it then rinse with approximately one gallon of diesel and drain. Then fill it with diesel and the appropriate amounts of Power Service "Fuel Tank Cleaner" and "Bio Kleen Biocide" and run this fuel. I have not decided what type of filter to use when filling the equipment. I am planning to mounting this to a pallet for transport to and from the gas station, and storage at home elevated enough to allow for gravity feed into the equipment. So maybe a Mister Funnel for transfer from tank to tractor.
Any thoughts/advice?
