Dexta silent for 6 months

Hey... My Dexta has been silent for 6 months.
It is at another Shark 300 miles from me and just haven't been there over this harsh fall and winter.
It had a good half tank of diesel.
Should I prepare to drain the intake lines and tank and refill with fresh?
The starter broke in the fall and haven't been down since.
She's gonna hold it against me for neglecting her...hopefully she'll roar back to life

MD,
I'm kind of in the same situation as you. Old Blue is at my "other place" that I shut down in November and reopen in April. Never had a problem with it starting right up in the spring.
All commercial fuel in the U.S. has conditioner added to keep it from getting stale. Just top off the tank and fire it up. All should be good.

Thanks Bill..
Your statement is also true about "off-road diesel?"
