[QUOTE="Grandad Pig, post: 6276922, member: 127804"] My new toy, a Massey Ferguson 65 Mk2 is being delivered tomorrow. I guess it is currently using non-duty red diesel. However, I will be using the tractor for road runs, local ploughing matches and shows etc. Not “solely used in agriculture” so will have to use duty paid, white, diesel. As an ex boat owner, I know some older marine engines can not safely use duty paid fuel due to the % of bio diesel included in it which allegedly can damage seals in the fuel pump. Can anyone tell me if this is an issue with the Perkins 4203 engine. I would guess not as it was used in a number of road vehicles in its day but just wanted to check.. Last question (for now:), can I simply start topping up with “white” and gradually dilute it over time or should I thInk about draining the tank and starting with fresh “white”, all thoughts appreciated. Thank you Steve [/QUOTE]
