4 years? Was it varnish?

That is a bit old, however on an island I once visited

they had
diesel 40+ YO. As long as it's in a tank and polished its

a-OK. I
installed a polishing system like Dougboats too this

winter, quite
happy with it. After some shipyard time I'll get out and

slosh things
about and polish properly.



I've turned down free 300 gals , that was 2 years in a house
tank, had that varnish smell / look to it.
