I have access to #2 fuel oil that has been sitting in a tank for a couple of years. Can I use it in my oil burner/furnace? Will it burn properly? Do I have to filter it?
Thanks,

#2 (diesel or fuel oil) can grow a fungus if it does not carry the
right additive package.

Algi - not fungus.


Some kind of living stuff that plugs filters.
It is common in boats. I assume any warm humid place would do it tho.
