i just bought an 88 carbureted trooper II. it sat full of diesel for 6 years. everyone said they could start it with spray, but no run.

i changed the fuel filter and smelled it. Deisel. guess what....troopers have a drain plug in the bottom of the tank!!

i ran the diesel, a gallon at a time, in my 84 chevy straight six at each fill up. (tried to dispose of anything lately?) it smoked a little, but it is OIL! cleaned the carb on the trooper, it runs fine on a shop fuel tank. however, diesel attracts moisture like you would not believe, the tank, after removal, had fuzzy rust that fell off at the pressure washer, but the pickup sock is all rust, and will be replaced.

i would change the filter, and carry a spare.
