NO surprise to me at all. My 5.7 diesel sat for 7 years without glow plugs in it. Put new glow plugs in it along with a new battery; glowed it twice and the thing lit off before I could get my hand off of the key. This was with 7 year old fuel. Idled perfect. My Case tractor sat for 3 years and the same thing happened. Lit right off. That's one thing I like about diesels.
Just curious did you add any fungicide to the fuel?
None at all. The filters were pretty black when I pulled them though.
Also; some of my gasoline equipment can sit for 11 months out of a year. I used to use Stabil but I haven't for over 15 years. The stuff starts up year after year so I quit using it.
