[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1769884, member: 18945"] You have a finite amount of time. Use it wisely! The day will come when the days and even years seem to fly by. I've never drained a tank unless something was wrong and over the decades I worked for a Komatsu distributor/repair company, Ford tractor dealership and Kubota dealership/shop and nearly 20 years as a mechanic for an O&G drilling company. Never once had a customer come in to have a fuel tank drained as a preventative measure and would have lost my job if I started draining tanks in the oil patch. I did occasionally siphon some fuel off the bottom of the tank into a glass jar and swirl the jar around to create a vortex in the fuel. You can then see particle and water contaminates. Learned that pre-flighting aircraft that used JP5. It was required before every flight. [/QUOTE]
