Question Am I cheap?

I'm going to be selling my 95 F250 here shortly and it has two full tanks of diesel. I filled up both tanks about a month ago when a new gas station came in and was selling diesel for $3.20 a gallon(its now 4.20). Well before I sell it I want to siphon out a tank and a half and put it in my 96. Am I being cheap or is it a good idea? And would it be easy to do? Or is it a really good selling point?

Id keep the fuel for sure. Get yourself a siphon pump from walmart and start pumping. Whether or not the truck had fuel in it would not effect my decision one way or another when buying.

Ditto. It shouldn't make a difference and with the amount that you use it will last you a long time.

Ok, that's good. I didn't have my 96 at the time I filled up the 95 so I'm going to go ahead and move it over. It might be good for the new owner to experience a fill up

Just make sure they don't have to put fuel in it on a test drive, could sour the deal
