Is year-old diesel fuel worth using?  I had about 5 gallons of diesel fuel
left in the tank over the winter.  Rather than just add to it, I pumped it
out and am wondering if it is worth reusing.  I had treated it with biocide
last year, and can easily filter it, but does it have some water absorbed
into it and so should be discarded?  Some diesel additives claim to deal
with water as well (see current issue of Practical Sailor), so is it
sensible to treat it with that and then add it back to the tank?  Otherwise
I need to find a proper place to dispose of it.  The engine runs fine, no
problems, so there is no indication anything is wrong, but of course that
doesn't mean the fuel is really suitable.
