Question regarding how full should a diesel tank be during long term storage. Still want to start engine once a month. Near empty, 1/2 full, full? Additives or no additives.
Conventional wisdom and my practice is to have a full tank when the rig is parked for any length of time beyond a few days. A full tank prevents condensation and it’s associated ills. I also put a few ounces of bioguard in the tank.
Always, always store with a full tank, even if the tank only requires 15 gallons or so. My Rv is my safe shelter in case of a disaster such as an earthquake or serious storm. A full tank gives me lots of generator run time if ever necessary. And, I agree with the possible condensation problem.
