Does anyone know of a way to tell if diesel fuel has gone bad?
Here is my situation. I have a large diesel fuel tank for my tractors on
my property (so I don't have to buy 'over the road' diesel.) The fuel in
there has been there a few years.
My newest tractor (a small 25hp subcompact) started acting funny. At full
throttle, it seems to sputter a little.
Could be a fuel problem, but I would love to test the diesel somehow. Or
is there a way of looking at the filter on the tractor? Or another test to
do?
Related follow up, if the fuel is bad, and I have about 50 gals in a 250
tank. Can I just add fresh fuel to it, or do I need to drain out all the
bad first? What would be a good bad/good ratio to dilute the bad fuel?
Thanks!
