My friend found this.
here is what he has to say:
Good evening, I was strongly advised by my mechanic that it is a very bad idea to try and start the truck with 8 year old diesel fuel that is probably gelled up. This WILL mess up the injectors. Thus tank must be drained, hoses blown out, fuel filter changed and new fuel. Furthermore, oil has not been through the motor in years, it needs to be properly primed with new oil and a new filter. I'm stuck in the middle here, the best I can do is 2000 as is, I will not attempt to start it unless he does all the work then, I will have to add his bill to the price. I just want to get rid of it the way it is, as was my original plan. Thank you.
Not trying to sound like a jerk here. this truck is very clean, but he will not let us start it. sounds like a bunch of crap to me and he is trying to hide something. crazy to lay out 2k on something you cant try to start. i know fuel can gel. doesn't that take WAY longer then 8 years? you guys on here know way more then i do about this. so i thought i would ask.
hes only 19 this is his first chevy and im afraid he is going to end up with pos.
so what do you guys think.
