94's been sitting for a year
 
Well my 94 has been sitting for about a year with no activity. I'm going to change the oil and fuel filter before I start driving it again. Is there anything else I need to do?

Nothing that I can really think of... Make sure to get some fresh fuel soon.

i definitly will. it's getting loaded on a trailer and then getting fuel up. IIRC it has about 1/4 in each tank, so i'm guessing there is some water in there. should i try to drain it out?

I would run one tank dry, then fill that tank while running the other dry...then drain the seperator and change the filter. Right or wrong, that's what I'd do.

ok. i think i might be changing the fuel filter several times in the next month.

keep draining that water/fuel seperator and changing fuel filters :tu: And go buy some of that $60 fuel additive from Stanadyne, not the $10 stuff that only treats like 100 gallons. The $60 dollar stuff treats like, 500 gallons and cleans out your tank so when you change you fuel filter it looks like spaghetti being pulled through a strainer :rocking:

who sells that stuff? i should probably run that in my 99. do i run it every tank or what?

but if i get junk coming thru the filter, how much of that is going to the injectors?

DieselDanBoy 02-19-2012 05:40 PM

to be honest im not 100% sure, I havent seen it for sale anywhere! I believe it's only for sale commercially.

depends what micron filter you have :moon:

fordornothing 02-19-2012 06:28 PM

i i'll have check. do you think a truck shop would have it?

DieselDanBoy 02-19-2012 09:30 PM

Again I'm not 100% sure... I got a case at a construction equipment expo, Stanadyne which is made in CT (my home state) was there with a booth selling the additive for practically nothing. Since then I haven't been able to find any, nor have I been to the construction expo.

Stanadyne is made literally 20 minutes from my home in CT, I'll phone home and try to get some info :c:
