Will see how this goes, worst case I have to pump it back out...
If I had managed to get a new heating source this summer, the original, original plan, was to xfer the furnace oil out and take that to the farm for the '89 Belarus bush-hog tractor.
So, the new original plan was to pull up at the Casey's C store in town. Label on the pump said it was winter blend from Nov 1 to April. But, with my 18' car trailer behind my truck, I would be blocking anyone getting around the pumps and store. Seemed like a rude thing to do.
I knew of a rural Cenex un-manned station at a cross roads that is setup for farm trucks to get in/out. Not the worst drive. So, I drove there and filled my 2 30g drums and came back. Label on that pump was it was B5-B20. This was over the border in MN so price was 14c higher too....Things were going fairly well in the fuel transfer until I tried to pour out the last couple gallons out that the transfer pump would not get.
Turned out that drum #1 that was one my late Dad used with this same xfer pump for tractor fuel that he kept in the shed cause the farm barrel was hard to get at in the winter, had a bunch of crap on the bottom. I don't think much ended up in my furnace tank as I funneled the dregs from the drum to a empty 2gal oil jug and then to the tank with a screened funnel that kept clogging up. The #2 drum was a empty that had 15W-40 tractor oil in it at one time, tag dated Dec 1996. That one dumped out a lot cleaner at the end.
So, I got about 57 gal of this B5 to B20 mixed into about 90-100 gal of I am pretty sure #1 regular furnace oil.
I am sure all this sounds like amateur hour at the zoo, haha.
