NOTE: I did a search, but could not find anything that really fit my question well.
I bought a trailer last winter that has a 125 gallon tank on it with a 12v pump.
It has some old fuel in it, not sure of the age, and I can't tell how much, but it could be 10 or more gallons. Draining with the tiny petcock is... not really efficient.
I have yet to try pumping it out through the main pump, although I will be doing that later.
Still, there will be a few gallons left and removing it would be a challenge.
If I dumped in 100 gallons of fresh diesel, perhaps adding something to the tank as well...
Would that be a sufficiently large amount to render the small amount of diesel in the tank harmless?
This is for use in off-road diesel equipment, nothing newer than 2004. In fact, I think EVERYTHING is 2004. (coincidence)
What does the group think?
