All I have to do is go to work and fill my tank up. The fuel is already at work in the underground tank. I'll just use as much as I can before we move. Looks like lots of road trips.

If there really is 1000 gallons, I'll let you know. I don't think I can burn that much before November, since I only live about 10 minutes from work. We can figure something out. The big boss wants all the fuel gone before we move so he doesn't have fuel in the ground.

I'll stay in touch!

Use a double shot of Powerservice in each tank.

Do you think that since it has been in there since last September and not touched anything could happen to the fuel that would ruin it or make it bad for the truck?

it will be OK..........I would be more concerened of the water content but that can be delt with easily

underground storage is at a steady temp so the fuel is good

you dont plan on just pumping this fuel into yer truck and takin off do ya??

like I said my concern is in water content................offload a gallon into a clear container and let it set to see if some water seperates out

let me see if I have some of that water detector paste stuff..................I will get back with ya on that

As long as the tank was sealed and new fuel was in it, I would think it would be fine. I might have to come over to Mesquite and visit
