Since moving to warmer climes, I have found it necessary to store my L4400 in a barn in New Hampshire. I'm only up there in the summer now, and for the past three summers it's seen only minimal use....<20 hours. I make an effort to see that the fuel tank is topped off with fresh (with additive) diesel
every time I leave, and now I have to go up there to close the place down for the winter. That means that at least some of the fuel in that tank is over 2 years old and will be close to three years old by the time I get back up there next spring.
Is this OK? Is it OK since the fuel is treated? Should I drain it? If so, how much of the old stuff can I leave in there? What about the fuel filter?
All responses are welcome because I'm really uncertain as to the best move now.
Thanks,
