Tank is stainless steel. (Albeit Chinese)
Stainless steel can be cleaned but laboratory testing for verification is not optional.

That won't work. To overcome the detergent issues you need a peat product.
The best place in the world to find that is on the Isle of Islay, off the west cost of Scotland. Don't get the home brand product though, single malt is best.

Sorry. I am a Bourbon/Sour Mash man through and through and have long and happily experienced its corn based, multifaceted usefulness. Also, switching to a juice made by skirt wearing, sheep buggerers could seriously endanger my status as a genuine Jack Daniels landed gentry Tennessee Squire. (I have a genuine paper deed attesting to this courtesy of the influential patronage of Moonstruck)
Like posts 34 & 35. Thanks guys. Especially the tip on rinsing one's mouth out with a good stiff drink. Perhaps I should insist that the yard, at its' expense, fill up the tank for the final flush with 120 gallons of a good bourbon of my choice. Then I'd have to make the agonizing choice of do I really want to flush it all out at once, or sip by sip.
Still, a call to your insurance agent might get an important asset on your side, if things aren't addressed as needed.
It would DEFINITELY be covered by the yards policy.........Thanks. I will do that. Don't know if a situation such as this is covered but it can't hurt to call to find out.

Ya, too bad you don't know anybody in that part of the world on this forum who just cruised over there.
I have to agree.....your attitude is commendable. .
Oh crap! I thought the 'hatty' of 'dwhatty' was New England-speak for 'hottie'! You're not 'D W Hottie'? (Well, maybe to Emily you are...especially in that pink hat!)
When you get the water tested, make sure they specifically test for diesel fuel. Water tests, including from local government, are limited in the number of contaminants that are in the test. You can have water tested for danged near everything but that gets expensive. Local government tests are looking for things like ecoli and contaminants that might be in the local aquifer. The test may or may not look for diesel fuel.
You really need to make sure the lab test for the one contaminant you know is an issue.

Hey! I sent you that pink hat and I have a picture of you wearing it to prove it. I'll bet Meg loves you in it.
If you can get them to fill it with Jack I will personally come there with several of my best drinkin buddies, who are experts on anything that can be or should not be added to JD. I also am a deed holding Jack Daniels squire. One of my asteemed drinkin buddies is the president of the Montana Cattlemens Association and the secratary of the American Cattlemens Associaton. Bill Donald. He recently bought a barrell of Jack at the distillery for $20,000. Sold it at a cattlemens fund raiser and made $20,000 over the purchase. I hunt on the WD ranch and Bill and I had "super speciall select" JD with ice cream and apple cobbler. Good stuff. He will accompany me to your boat.
Maybe after installing the valves on the fuel sight tubes they refueled using the water fill instead of the fuel fill. The fuel would float on the water and end up in the top of the water sight tubes.
Now I understand how the diesel got in the water tank - they were looking for a place to park the diesel fuel when adding the fuel sight gauges. I can't imagine they pushed it in through the potable water system - but if they did, that might get it into the sight gauge. I think that might be what happened, and it would mean that the plumbing would be compromised.
