Hi

If I get back out there I will get pictures.

As for running and old diesel that has been sitting a long time they do store well. I went out on a GM 3-71 that had sat for 11 years and got it running after repairing the starter and un-sticking some injectors. This unit didn’t have a fuel tank they use portable tanks on wheels.

But the difference here is the 1,000 gallon fuel tank has been sitting full for the last 15 years. So the next step is to get a fuel sample kit and a clamshell sampling device and get samples to run for microbial contamination and Cetane ratting.
