Thank you brother!! I try to help as much as I can here. I'll leave it at that. If anyone doesn't like what I have to say, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Horkn and tree killer It sure gets uncomfortable in here with that back and forth. You are both great and helpful members; long time standing. Don't know what went south or triggered the whole thing with you guys, but... At least neither of you joined under false I.D. and then started fleecing the members with a wounded bird routine! Now that is something that should annoy everyone of us!
I get it. I just had to defend myself against comments that were unwarranted. I didn't post anything to besmirch anyone. That's going too far. If you don't like what I say, that's fine, but personal attacks are never a good route to go on forums.
Lit the first fire of the season tonight. It was 63° this morning in the house and never got over 65°. I didn’t want to turn on the furnace so we put some splits in the stove. I almost had forgotten how nice the heat is from the stove. Got all this years burning wood under cover today and most of the two cord I bought stacked. I still have wood to split once I get the wood splitter out of the garage. It’ll be nice to get that all wrapped up so we can know that the tough work is behind us, but I’m feeling it tonight.
I just use the diesel fuel before it has time to grow anything. Haven’t had any problems. Git-r-done.
Heating oil in an outside tank over 10 years old. Used for a tractor with absolutely no problems at all.
I have #2 heating oil in an inside tank, basement. Is it necessary to put any additives in? I use between 100 to 150 gallons a year and it is a 260 gallon tank.
Don't know, but the outside tank of fuel had an antifreeze added to keep it from getting gelled up during cold temps. I always heard that you shouldn't use old fuel oil like that, but you can't argue with success. I also heard that you shouldn't use used engine oil for chain saws (bar oil) but that's another whole can of worms!
Years ago when I lived in a mobile home, we had to buy #1 oil since the tank was outside and subject to well below zero temps. With the tank inside in a heated basement we are able to get by with #2 oil.
Didn't used to have to use additives in diesel or HO at all, but since they've "cleaned it up" it doesn't store as well as it used to...ahh, progress
Old farmer trick was to throw 5 gallons of kerosene in a 200 gallon tank of oil to control the gelling factor
