    It puts a smile on my face seeing older diesels start up and be used after sitting for a long time unused. Good job. Keep doing good work.

    Diesel engines are amazing for that reason. Let it sit for 20 years and it starts right up, even with the old fuel in it. Amazing.

      Diesel engine will burn dam near anything as long as it is flammable and not explosive (i.e. gasoline). That fuel is likely rotten as hell but it will still burn when put under the high compression of a big truck diesel engine.
