<div>No fire pit here, Jim. When we hang outdoors, it's always
on the deck, so a fire pit doesn't make sense. Everybody is
erring on the side of caution so any notion of putting it in
the tractor is officially dead. I'll probably either hide it
in my waste engine oil, or hang onto it until I get around to
the Hazardous Waste Day. One more thing that just this minute
occurred to me is that I have a co-worker who does quite a bit
of brush-burning. I bet he'll take it!</div>

not worth the money to run it through your tractor.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [External] [AT] Diesel Fuel
Question</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>I recently discovered I have a diesel
fuel leak, and while trying to find time
for diagnosis and repair, I started
parking the tractor over a big drip-pan.
The pan collected roughly a gallon over
the course of ... well, I can't say
precisely but around a week or two. That
fuel dripped thru the normal grime found
on engines, so it's pretty dirty. (And I
since discovered that turning off the fuel
petcock effectively controls the leak)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have filtered it multiple times.
First thru paper towel; clogged three or
four getting that done. Next thru coffee
filters, again, it took 4 to finish the
job. Finally thru a Covid mask (regular
surgical type not N95). That one never
clogged and captured very minimal
additional material.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I have now is therefore free of
particulate big enough to catch in coffee
filters and surgical masks. It remains
discolored; if fresh diesel was the color
of Budweiser, this stuff looks like a nice
brown ale.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What says the list? Burn it? Will the
tractor's fuel filter take out everything
big enough to cause problems with the pump
or injectors? (Seems like that should be
a design criteria for that filter, no?)
If I do burn it, I will dilute it about
5:1 with fresh fuel. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I don't burn it, it will eventually
be carted away to our local Hazardous
Waste Day held annually about 25 miles
from here - I manage to remember and get
over there only about once every 3-5
years.</div>
