We finally made it back to the farm, and I had 5 gallons of summer diesel that I had drained out last fall and replaced with no. 1. I don't plan on using the tractor in the winter but I want it to be ready. I had put some biocide in the summer diesel before leaving. When I was pouring it in the tractor through a funnel with a fine screen, after about 3 gallons the screen plugged, I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago. There appears to be a fine layer of clear slime on the screen, and if I blow through it backwards it clears it. I didn't put the rest of the fuel in the tractor, I will use it for starting bonfires.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
