Hi everyone, you are always well prepared for my curious questions.
I have about 1000 liters of diesel which has been stored in plastic canisters for about a year.
(it was supposed to be used in an emergency but then it was never used).
It's automotive diesel, so it's perfectly legal to use it in car.
I noticed that the tanks generated a slight black sediment.
First of all, I thought of sucking the diesel from the tanks with an electric pump, avoiding sucking the bottom.
I'd like to try filtering it before using it.
I tried to use a FFP2 mask used as filter paper and it immediately turned black but above all it is extremely slow.
I also proceeded to put a biocide but it doesn't seem to change much.
How can I filter the diesel before using it?
