I’m looking at buying a fairly new motorhome, it’s a diesel pusher. It has not been started in four years. The owner is concerned that they need to drain the diesel before they start it.

This coach is the desert in California, we get pretty clean diesel out here. I never even changed the filters on my 240D in five years.

I thought diesel could stand for years and years and years without an issue.

I want to start it, but they’re putting me off.

What’s the truth on that, you guys seem to know all about diesels and helped me a lot with the 240D.

Thank you
