I've put a 617 in a gas body. 84 SD engine/transmission in an 85 380SE body. I'm not changing the tank. According to a few members here the diesel will eventually dissolve any of the amber like substance created when/if ethanol dries. This car has sat many years but it had run completely out of gas when I parked it last. The lines are open enough.

I have put five gallons of diesel in the tank after plugging the return and supply lines. How long do we think it will take for diesel to do the job of dissolving the buildup?

The SE's front end sits a little higher with the 5 cyl engine which makes me wonder if I should expect some vibration from the drive shaft due to the transmission yoke sitting a little higher in this body. As always, I appreciated any advise on these issues.
