When I read posts about "old" diesel or special restorative additives, I'm 
reminded about the posts of Pauk Kruse who, at one time, was in charge of 
all diesel equipment at NASA from trucks to gantries. They had Gulf Coast 
Filters on every diesel engine.

They'd send him to some obscure tracking station in a woe-be-gone corner of 
the world to prepare the site to track a mission sent out on an unusual 
orbit. He'd take some pumps and a godawful stack of GCF F-1's and many cases 
of super Bounty paper towells (which I understand are now back on the 
market.). They'd start filtering the "old" diesel stored in the tanks and 
changing filters till it was clean again, start the engines and put the site 
on line.

He once made a statement which I here paraphrase: If you have some fifthy, 
cruddy old diesel you want to dispose of, bring your boat over to mine. I'll 
pump it all off  through my F-1 and burn it myself.
