8 years ago, I filled the tanks on my 92 F-350 7.3 diesel, thinking then that the storage would only be for a few months or so. One thing led to another, and the storage time became much longer than expected due to work assignments outside of the US.
I will be returning to the States next month, and was planning on making my truck roadworthy again. I will most likely have to replace the tires from sitting so long, replace the batteries even though they were on tenders, change lubricants, etc.
What I am not sure how to take care of is the diesel fuel short of dropping the tanks and disposing of the fuel. Would rather not do that as it is about 100 gallons of fuel, and the logistics of disposing of that much fuel would be a nightmare, not to mention the cost.
The truck has been stored inside in Santa Fe where the humidity is very low most of time.
I have read about products like PRI-D that will restore old diesel fuel, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these sort of products or had any experience/advice to share.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
