I saw the subject line and immediately remembered with fondness the smell of diesel while playing, um, make that working, on my Kubota. What a letdown!

A wealth of information can be found at WWW.FORD-DIESEL.COM. Just check the FAQ files. I have an F-350 PSD and found numerous tips on diesel fuel there.

Pat -

I asked the exact same question shortly after my first attempt at pouring 5 gallons of diesel into my tractor. From the replies I got back, Simple Green worked best for me. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Here's the web site on that. Simple Green All kinds of info there. They recommend it for just about everything. I've never tried it before. Looks interesting though. I'll have to get some.

Thanks boys! i apologize for the subject heading - should have been more explicit. But it is a very legitimate question.

Rather ironic, don't you think? - Mom asking for laundry help from a bunch of tractor guys./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

My wife is a zealot for Simple Green. Works great in removing all sorts of stains and odors. She always washes my barn clothes in Simple Green and they come out clean and even smell good. Also great for washing the dog when she decides to roll in "stuff" for that doggy perfume smell. Cleaned her up well (the dog), too, after the last incident with a skunk and the inevitable tomato juice bath. As my wife tells everyone, "try it, you'll like it."
