Not really a viable option though...you don't want to run it dry, any water will probably be left in the bottom of the tank (assuming the pick-up is slightly elevated), and you don't want it empty in case the power fails. The later is pretty unlikely but would be fairly bloody embarrassing if it happened.

Well not dry but leave around 2 lt in the tank.

Diesel is lighter than water so as you say it sits at the bottom of the tank

Might need to drain the tank and then dry it out. Then start with fresh fuel.

Have about 30 mins of ups so I just have to do it all with an aux pickup in the jerry can and manually start the genset as required in the event.

I'll get a fuel dude to have a look at the current fuel quality first.

Moisture would show up in your filter of it's been sitting for a while. As the fuel sits above the water and it will be in the line before the fuel does. Well that's the plan, but Murphies law.

I've left fuel in the grader for at least ten months without starting it. Father in-laws grader so I don't give a toss.

If it was my engine I would dump and flush the fuel for insurance sake.

:) I use a bit of diesel in my weed spray as it makes the poison stick better
