Wow! A buck a gallon - At the local gas stations #2 off-road is $1.39/gal or more (including taxes). I'm hauling it in 5 gallon containers for now. It would be less expensive to have it delivered in bulk (I think around $1.25), but I'm not set up for that yet. I've got an old 200 gallon fuel tank that was outside on a cedar post stand. I had the inside cleaned out and built a new stand for it. I'll put it up inside the shop so I don't have to deal with the wind and weather. But, before I put the tank onto the stand and put it into use, I want to sandblast and paint it.

What works really well is Goop-type machanic's hand cleaner. This also works great on clothes too. We always use it on clothes for any oily stains or tree sap. It has never caused any spots on the clothes, and it works good on your hands too.

heehaw,
Sounds like you had a bad day if you had to find out how to get the taste of diesel out of your mouth! LOL!
yuck!
When I was in school I had a similar accident. The school had passed out care packages to the dorm students. The packages had soap, toothpaste, shaving cream, aftershave, mouthwash, etc. One day I was in a hurry and late for something. I ran into the dorm room and did not turn on the lights. I reached for the mouthwash which was in a green and small glass bottle. I took a big swig and UGHHHHHH! I had grabbed the other small green glass bottle! Let me tell you aftershave DOES NOT taste good! NOT! NOT! NOT! And it takes FOREVER to get the taste out of your mouth!
Somehow I think diesel is worse!
So how does D2 tastes?
LOL!

i was havin to lower the diesel in my JD to pull out the fuel level sending unit to see why it wasn't working..i finished the job the next day, an was a lot more careful with the siphon hose; the sending unit is good, and if anyone wants to know, the sending unit is @ 0-180 ohms; if i had known that info before, i wouldn't have had to pull it out to test it..
