Well, call me an idiot if you want but then please tell me what to do. I used my B7800 last Saturday afternoon and got the tank down to about a quarter full. I had about a gallon of deisel left in the gas can so I emptied it into the tractor and put it up with my other empty can waiting to be filled - notice I didn't say anything about putting the cap back on the Kub's fuel tank /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. We were running late for a Mother's Day dinner and in the rush of things I somehow forgot to put it back on. Well, I was showing my tractor to a local farmer today and he mentioned that it may be a good idea to not leave the cap off the tank like that. So, my tractor was sitting there without the cap on the tank for a couple days with a roughly half-full tank of gas. We got a little bit of very light rain but nothing much during that time. It has been very windy the last couple of days though and there was a lot of dust being blown around so some could have conceivably gotten in the tank. Do I need to worry about draining the tank and replacing the fuel or should it be ok? If I do need to drain the tank how what's the best way to do that and will I need to bleed the fuel line then? My gut tells me that I am probably ok this time but as a newbie I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for the help.
