Thanks
Del Marrey I thought it was rust. The botom of the barrel has pinholes that actually rusted thru and leak diesel. There is a slimey odor from it though so I think it is algae. Its a 2000 tractor so I don't think there will be any probs w/ seals. I wonder if it will do any good though?

Kai thanks for the idea of returning the fuel from the tank to the barrel. I was trying to figure where to dump it legally. I'll just put it back in the barrell.

Wheels The tank is not really difficult to remove but I'm in the middle of a project that needs to be done before the rains come. How would you reccomend cleaning it? There is an access hatch I can get a brush in thru but won't be able to get to the whole tank. Now that I think about it I'm going to search for a post about putting rock salt(or something like that) in the tank that will act as a scouring agent.


Pat I'll do that. I was unsure where to put the Racors but I think that putting them in my transfer pump system would be a good spot.



Biocide seems to be the consensus so I'll do that as a band aid till I finish this project.
