5500 marquis diesel generator not started for years

I know a person for various reasons has not used this MH since 2009. It was brand new. It's a 2009 fred diesel. It has 4700 miles on it and used one winter back in 2009. The oil's been changed I think...

Doubt he will have much problem with it if there is no water in the fuel. I have seen diesel machines operate just fine after sitting several years. Doesn't hurt a motor to sit idle if you keep the moisture out.
