Engine rebuild, keep or discard existing diesel in tank?

I lost 100L when my surveyor failed to close a fuel valve properly and it was found the next day in the bilge... deep breath, pump out to waste and move on..

Honestly ... do people really do this ??

I'm certainly not short of a bob or three ... but throwing away fuel for the sake of a bit of filtering ???

If small amount and I have a crappy container of diesel or petrol - I save it for use to clean items in ... amazing what you can clean with crappy fuel ...

it was a long way (250 miles) from home, I was time constrained and it was the simplest option
