Major Score this last weekend

[Pete Judd]

I watch "Freecycle" in a couple of the local county's here, and up came a post for 100 gallons of diesel, and a 275 gallon tank. I responded quick, and picked it up last weekend. Had to pump the fuel into 2 55 gallon drums, and then load the tank witch was in a garage on to the trailer. One tank of gas to get it, and a little labor to get it done, and now I have a year of fuel for my tractor, and some for the boat, as well as a tank to put up in the air to gravity feed to the tractor, as I am having a hard time lifting 5 gallon jugs up to refuel.

The reason the person wanted it gone, was that he put in a heat pump, and wanted the fuel and tank out of his garage. The tank spent it's whole life inside, so I am planing to add a coat of Hammerall to it to keep it looking good.

Is it No. 1 or No. 2 diesel?

Who cares.

#2, heating oil is the same as red off road diesel.

Not quite. Diesel fuel contains an additive package that heating oil does not have. (lubricity enhancer, anti-foam agents, etc)

JMHO, but I'm not sure that I would use it in my tractor. IF I were going to try to burn that in an engine, I would, at the very least, add a bottle of fuel treatment (like PowerService) and a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil.

Bigfoot, I have a friend that delivers the fuel around here, and he delivers the same fuel weather off road, or heating oil. Just different Tax.
