How Garbage Biodiesel Ruined My Classic Massey Ferguson Tractor (And How I Fixed It)

What happens here

The creator uses a siphon hose to actively drain the old, contaminated fuel from the tractor's fuel tank. He collects the fuel in a drain pan, observing that it is rusty and sludgy, which confirms the contamination issue. While draining, he probes the fuel shut-off valve with a screwdriver and confirms that it is completely clogged.

Goal: Empty the fuel tank of old, rusty, and possibly algae-laden diesel.
