When I bought my tractor last month, I was given approximately 35 gallons of diesel fuel in a 55 gal drum w/ a crank pump on it. I know nothing about the fuel, when or where it was purchased, how long it had sat, nothing. The PO stated that it was "still good" and that I may filter it before using.
Should I use it? I'm leary of rust from the barrel, condensation,and, I was told by a neighbor, that algae can grow in diesel fuel?
Anything I can/should do to treat it before using? What type filter should I run it through?
If possible, I'd really like to make use of the fuel. In my neck-o'-the-woods, that's approximately $125 worth of go-go juice!!
