[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1149453, member: 14713"] I agree with you on the stale fuel 100% Nesi. The difference is I blame it on crappy gasoline, not ethanol. I don't use much gas anymore so I stopped filling my 350 gal bulk tank. I fill my cars at gas stations when I'm out on the road. My tractors are all diesels now. The only machines I have on the place that use gas is the 4 wheeler and the lawn mower. I don't like gas cans but that's my system for those uses. I do have my old C20 and Impala out in the shed that I still drive occasionally. They have gas in them doped up with a heavy dose of Sea Foam. Need to get 'em out and freshen 'em up! ;-) BTW, I think modern ULSD diesel fuel is crap too and doesn't keep well. I bought 120 gallons of straight #1 ag fuel on the day after Christmas in my pickup transport tank. Used some out of it this spring. So the last time I was in town a couple weeks ago with the pickup I topped off the 80 gallons of #1 left in the tank with 40 gallons of of dyed #2 Ruby Fieldmaster. Ruby Fieldmaster is a nickel per gallon higher than regular dyed #2. Supposedly has a superior additive package including soy lubricant. I had put Silver Bottle Power Service in the #1 fuel when I bought it. Now that I've bought this 40 gallons of #2 and mixed it with the 80 gallons of #1 I want to pump the portable tank into my bulk tank for this winter and fill the portable with straight #2 for hay season. My plan now is to add enough White Bottle Power Service to treat the 40 gallons of fresh #2 in the tank. I'm hoping that 2 parts of #1 with 1 part of #2 with soy along with Power Service treatment will be OK for winter. A full dose of Power Service is supposed to make straight #2 perform like a 50/50 mix of #1 and #2. I normally use straight #1 and be done with it. Our winter temps here can approach -40. Last winter the coldest temp was about -35. I was pleased the Kubota started like a summer day. ;-) I always plug in below 0 but Kubota does start easily down to 0 with no assistance other than glow plugs. [/QUOTE]
