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,

Thanks for the info. Looks like it should be fine as long as I don't dredge-up the bottom muck.


Filter it as you withdraw it from the tank and when the filter plugs,
you are done.
