1. Thanks for the many replies.
2. Apologies for the slight paranoia ;-)...but year old gasoline does smell a bit funny and seem to have some crud settle out.
3. I do recall someone swearing off diesel pickups back in the 1970's saying they were horrible to start in wintertime cold without an additive.
4. I do know that water will work it's way into a tank...may not be much, but very easy to have a teaspoon or two in the bottom of a gas tank. Of course, I'd guess it zooms right through the fuel pump and injectors without too much disruption of the go-go juice.

Apologies to mods & others- while this is SORT OF off topic, I also think that maybe this is the right place for this- crosses over to Tow Vehicles and diesel MHs for users who may let them sit for moderate time periods.
I will soon be the owner of a small diesel tractor that will often go one to two months without being used.
I was always aware of gasoline getting old- but I'm scared that diesel is a bit more particular and that it might form gunk after a few months...AND fuel pumps and fuel lines and injectors ARE a bit more persnickety than a 1950 carburetor.
Anything that you MUST do as the weather gets cold?
Anything that you MUST do if you let fuel sit for a couple months?
(PS, I would include "really want to do" in with saying "Must")
Thanks.
