Low sulfur diesel fuel

[Jeff Teuton]

We have not seen any problems in our big rig or my conversion. We have not seen anything of interest in our fleet (about 1500) of medium and hd trucks. The gelling was a problem before the low sulphur. Mostly on diesel that sits around. The additives will stop that. There is always the problem of dirty diesel. Tank bottoms at the station, distributor, truck are just someof the culprits. We have seen a real uptick in the feds stopping at sites (construction, dealer, etc) and checking for red fuel (no tax) in street vehicles. When they stop, they check everybody, and yes the fines are pretty hefty.

Any additive, that will increase lubricity & cetene level is good........poor fuel quality will make you want to step up you intervals on fuel filters...just to help mileage & save on injectors.....power service works well..............ford/motorcraft offers additives for 7.3/6.0 & the new 6.4.......which needs all the help it can get in the fuel mileage area

I heard the red diesel cost the same as on road diesel. If this is true, why would anyone risk putting off road diesel in their trucks? I have a 04 Kodiak with a Duramax in it and havn't had any problems with diesel yet. and I havn't used any additives either. Of course, with the price of diesel, I don't fill it up unless I need to. You know, bad neighborhoods with siphoning hoses.
