Can't tell you without going through my old books but spg for water is I think 1.1 which makes it about 8.2lbs per gallon I'm not sure but I think kerosene is about the same but #2 diesel is heavier because of its refinery level and we all know most oil companies are allowed to put so much water in there fuel, let me rephrase that they're allowed so much moisture in thier fuel and diesel does not give up water very well because of its chemical composition but due to the time this vehicle has sat it could very easily have collected on the top. In summary I have seen this before and this is why most tractor mfg companies switch to composite full tanks. I'm certainly not a chemical engineer but you can perform this test yourself by taking a cup of diesel fuel and putting a capful of water in it and see if it floats to the top. Oh, I forgot make sure the diesel fuel is 8 years old.
