is it just me?.....or does that oil look really dark?...
I add a little new oil to every tank and it works greatI wouldnt run new oil, harder to light. and I saw less power.
I would happily come pump that tank for them, remove it, and knock out any other pending chores they might have around the houseMy folks moved recently and ended up with a 300 gallon tank of heating oil they need gone. Told them to ask around for whoever has a tractor, skid steer, backhoe, etc. that wants to fuel up for cheap. If nothing else, I'll pick up a used slip tank or two and load up as much as I can when I visit.
There's always the option of paying the fuel tax and keeping the receipts so that if you get inspected, you have proof that you're not running illegally. That said, I have a decently large circle of diesel friends and none of us have ever been stopped or dipped in our private vehicles and we run all manners of fuels through our trucks.When I had my IDIs, I came across a few old home heating oil tanks that were full and folks needed gone. my only worry was getting fined for running off road diesel since it's the exact same thing. I'm curious if any of you guys had experience with this as far as getting stopped for off road diesel. Even the price of fresh home heating oil is tempting compared to diesel prices.
I'm just not sure it's worth the risk. last I heard, the fines were up to 10k here for running off road diesel....
