    Old fuel. Should you run it or pitch it.

    I had fuel in the rear tank for about 3-4 years. The FSV is bad and was wondering if I should run the fuel after cleaning out the tank or pitch it? The fuel is a yellow/green color and is clear. Doesnt smell real bad. If I put some diesel extreme in it would it be safe to run it? Thanks Ronw435

    Sort of a Newbie. Compression test.

    Hi all, not new to the forum but was wondering about a compression test question. I have a 1986 Ford F250 6.9 NA. Mileage unknown. I use the truck to plow a mile and a half road in the Northern New Mexico mountains. The truck starts great when plugged in in the winter down to +10 degrees...

    Hi all just bought a 1986 Ford F250 with the 6.9 diesel. 4x4.

    Hi all great forum. Was wondering if I should change out the Autolite glow plugs that were installed just before I bought it? I have seen everyone says to buy the ZD9's I have the blade connectors on my wires. ZD1's I believe have the spade. Should I replace them and change the connectors?
