Y purchased my new "old"
boat last year and the owner had deviated the
diesel fuel system, as off the "old" tank. During the
winter I have drained the "old" tank, washed out and since the
boat was 3 years in a temperate
storage and sealed, whatever came out (yellow clear and transparent liquid). When I washed the
diesel tank with some new diesel and sucking out the whole stuff, what came out was still clear and transparent. Since, I have filled about 5 Gallons of diesel and run the
engine for several hours and it runs smooth. But I still have this canister with about 10 Gallons of "old" diesel, transparent and clean.
My question here is: "Should I use this "old" diesel, or not?" I know the problem can be in the particles in the
fuel, but if it is completely transparent? Also, the system has new filter I have set in, so - shouldn´t this filter?
What is a general appreciation here? Is it better to discharge the hole batch and put new one, or to be more "environmental and ecology" friendly and? use the "old" one mixed with new diesel?
