Storing a diesel short term

[DeanM]

I have purchased a 2000 F350 Lariat, but, need to sell my old truck as well, so, I have been driving the gasser, just had a deal fall through, so, I am getting concerned about having my new to me diesel sitting for too long. It has been sitting for a month already and I am wondering if there are any long term affects for having it sit for another month (if it takes that long to sell my other truck), or should I just start driving the diesel?


Thanks

Dean

Drive the diesel once a week or even twice a week. Place ads up for the gasser.

Have had the gasser up for sale for a month, not too many bites, as it has the 454 with 4:10 gears, plus its not the best time of year to be selling a vehicle.

Insurance isnt cheap up here, so, it would be pretty pricey to insure both, I guess my concern is if I let the diesel sit for too much longer, would there be any long term effects?

Throw a battery tender on it, otherwise you'll be fine.

i would just make sure to start it every so often and add some type of fuel additive to keep it from gellin up but it will be fine

Thanks for the replies, once I get the truck in my driveway I am sure I will have alot more questions.
