    Diesel fuel additives for bulk tanks

    Thanks, I think that's what I have used before, but I couldn't remember, and couldn't find my old receipts. I've got a water block, but not a particulate filter on mine. Maybe I should consider adding a second. Mine is gravity feed though. I don't know if it would work as well without a pump.

    Diesel fuel additives for bulk tanks

    I've asked this before, but can't find the old thread. I've got a 200 gallon tank. What additives are y'all putting in to keep it clean and fresh? Need something for algae, cleanliness and freshness.

    Why 3pt Rotaty (brush) Cutter vs Quick attach on FEL?

    As said above, flow is going to be an issue. However, the issue of safety is a big concern. I have and M4700 with a 6' pull behind mower, that has on occasion, at least before I put chains on it, thrown debris past my head. I also run a Kubota SVL 75 with a rotary muncher (think bush hog on...

    Favorite diesel can?

    I have a 200 gallon tank. Our property is an easy 1 hour round trip to the closest gas station. I had, and still have, three 5 gallon plain old yellow plastic diesel cans. I did buy some of the cheap spouts to put on them to avoid the valve assemblies that are now California compliant...

    question on going from conventional oil to synthetic on smaller engines

    Synthetic is the way to go. I run Rotella T6 in my F250 and the tractor. In all my small engines I run straight 40W. Of course this is Texas and it gets hot in the summer, and not much use in the winter.

    Insurance for tractor and attachments

    You need an Inland Marine Policy. It's not really a "boat" policy as stated above, but that's just what it is called. We have ours through Farm Bureau. Found them to be the cheapest and best by far.

    landscape border/trim recommendation

    I know you have a need for this, and it's probably justified. We have similar spots at our home in various places that were there when we bought the home about fourteen years ago. So I have no real idea when they were installed. Bricks were used as edging on some of it, and pavers on others...

    RM43 weed control mix % ?

    I didn't figure out the mixtures. The table will tell you that. But really are you using the right stuff for your application? Are you just spraying fence rows or are you spraying pastures. If you are only trying to kill thistle and mustard, they are both broadleaves. Why do you need the...

    Skidsteer rentals

    I've got a skid steer, and it doesn't like slopes. Your entry and exits need to be specifically planned, and they need to be thought out as to how they are going to change if and when you have a load on the front.

    Diesel Additive - which one, and how much?

    I just want to keep the fuel fresh. This is a 200 gallon tank that sits at our ranch to fuel farm equipment. It holds off-road diesel, and will not be used for on the road vehicles. I don't want algae, water, gelling, or fuel degradation. That is all.

    Diesel Additive - which one, and how much?

    Thank you all for your responses. I think that i have decided to go with Dee-Zoll for an additive and Killem Biocide for the algae. It may be overkill, but at the price of fuel, not to mention my equipment, now days it's cheap insurance.

    Diesel Additive - which one, and how much?

    Guy I bought it from said it was a 2001. Really don't know. It's the only tractor that I've ever owned. Bought it shortly after we bought the property five years ago.

    Diesel Additive - which one, and how much?

    Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your thoughts and time. To answer some questions, the tractor is a Kubota M4700, a 2001 model. Pretty low hours. I think I've got about 950 hours on it. Runs like a top. Also have a back hoe and a skid steer. Fuel turnover is going to be fairly...
