You'd better save some for those gas guzzling F-150's driven by so
many Canadians. You'd think you folks up there could conserve a
little!

Why don't you conserve some of that verbal diarrhea you keep spewing
all over the newsgroup.
I got my desktop machine up and running over the weekend so, thankfully,
Turdmeister Herring is back in the bozo bin, and not a moment too soon.

He must be bored lately. No boat and a dud at Golf.
What's next... bowling?

I don't think he could lift a bowling ball.

We might have to sign him up for 'candlepin bowling' available only in the
Maritimes and part of New England. The balls must be a third of the size of
your big'uns..

I remember those. My girl cousins from north of Boston cleaned my clock
every time we went bowling up there with those damned skinny pins.

Getting back to the subject ....

I'll let ya'll in on my master plan. I am not conserving diesel fuel. I am
hoarding it.
Between both boats, I've got close to 1000 gallons of diesel. I am going
to wait a couple of more years, then sell it by the gallon on E-bay and make
a fortune.

I'll be glad to sell you one gallon shippable containers at $11.99 each.

On a serious note - does diesel go bad like untreated gas?

I've been told no. You *do* have to treat it with a biocide, particularly
in warm climates, to avoid having little "critters" growing in it. I left
my boat unused in Florida for almost two years with full fuel tanks. Before
bringing it back north I had the fuel polished as a precaution (a process
of running the fuel through a set of filters to remove critter growth).
Turns out it was not necessary ... the regular Racor filters would have
handled the small amount of crap in the fuel without becoming clogged.

Otherwise, it does not "go bad".

I have had a couple of folks who run fuel docks tell me at different
times over the years that there really isn't a need to add biocide to
fuel sold for pleasure boating.

They claim that the fuel dock treats the fuel with biocide when it is
delivered from the refinery, and that this biocide transfers into the
fuel tanks of the boats taking on diesel.

I'm not going to say either way. An ounce of prevention, etc, you
know. However, in both cases the fuel dock operators successfully
persuaded me *not* to buy some biocide from them, so it's less likely
that they were spinning yarns than if they were trying to convince me
to spend more money.

I've been told the same thing. For long term storage though, I figured
treating it again wouldn't hurt because it's cheap insurance. The fuel
was fine after the storage in Florida, so I've done the same up here.

Speaking of "up here". I am back on the boat and the weather is more like
Feb-March rather than May. Rainy and COLD!

Know what you mean. Almost froze while walking my dog out at York Dedoubt at
the entrance to the harbour.
