Glad all is well again. Hope you find some relief. This whole thing sounds like a real pain in the neck (pun intended). Sorry, I couldn't help myself...

you could burn that dies o line in the lawn mower. as far as REALLY old gasoline i would build a nice hot bonfire and get a nice hot bed of coals goin and burn it. same thing goes for used motor oil (but do it at night it makes a ton of BLAAAAACK smoke) i dont put used motor oil in my fuel system to burn in the engine. bad idea imo.

Ken, I think the neighbors would throw me in the fire if I did that, lol.

Ya Ian, I've tried doctors and chiropractors for my siadict (sp) nerve. Now for the acupuncture. Glad your starting to see the light, that must feel good.

Glad your fuel issue is finally taken care off. Now take Jose's, Tom's and my advice and get your tail to a Chiropractor.

This is true, our diesels will run on a mixture of diesel/gasoline, I think my manual said up to 20% would not hurt anything.

Just siphon as much out as you can and fill up with diesel and run her. Keep the rest of the mixture and add a little to the tank at each fill up. Might as well use it, as you've paid for it.
