Hopefully that's still leftover from being outside on the dealer's lot. I would address the strong potential of water still being in the tank. If there's a low point drain, you could drain off any water, or if not convenient you could put a water absorbing snake in the tank for a few weeks.
Your previous post mentions high heat from brake light bulbs that can melt lenses... Swap them out with LED's. I replaced all of my tractor's incandescent bulbs with LED's years ago, saving 11.3 amps.
RjCorazza, Is it as simple as it sounds? Just swap the bulbs? Led's bulbs vice the incandescent bulbs?
If it's that simple I'll swap out all of my lights! Including headlights. But - it just sounds too simple! Nothing ever comes easy for me. I don't want to cut wires, change plug ends, or anything that's working fine as is.

The bulbs themselves are direct fit, plug-n-play these days. Just get the part number off the incandescent lamps and search for LED replacements for them.

Some late model cars/trucks won't play nice with certain LED retrofits because of the vehicle's computerized controls, but with our tractors, this wouldn't be an issue.

My last 2 tractors and truck were a simple swap to the led equivalent base. The exception was the headlights on the tractor, where it was a little difficult to confirm the base type. I ended up comparing pictures and measuring the height of the replacement headlights. The led headlights I selected were somewhat underwhelming in light output, but I rely on much brighter cab mounted led flood / spots on the tractor.
I also matched the led color to the lens color, which supposedly results in more light output. Don't know if that's really true though.
