HHO is HHO why don't you call Kubota and ask them if they recommend HHO then after that you can have an analyst done on what the guy is delivering to you this week to confirm that's its OK then next time you get a delivery you can have that one analyzed also and on and on You don't know where it's coming from and next week it might come from another refinery.
If you have a problem with your tractors fuel system is your oilman going to cover the repairs I don't think so
BTW I bet that a lot of the cold weather starting problems and gelling with people that got the so called HHO off road fuel that was the same.
You don't have much choice when it's the only fuel available.

I would at least buy some algaecide and add it to the tanks you have .
last time I bought some was a long time ago if I remember right it was $13 and it treated 5000 gal cheap insurance!

I really think it's time to drop this subject. Who would put old fuel in a nice Kioti tactor to save pennies. End of story.

You are right you have to burn what is availible. An additve would probaly be a good idea then.

In Indiana we are pretty lucky to have a refinery that was built by farmers for farmers that has products aimed at tractors performing well.

This is an interesting link to follow. They have a tank farm in my town so I can uasally get quality road diesel for my truck for less than the cut rate stations who truck it in. I have a bulk tank at home they deliver to for my off road. It is a 150 gallon mininum for delivery. It is sure nice having a bulk tank at home though. :)

Last week when I filled up road diesel was $1.99 and off road was $1.59. Last summer I had a fill of off road for a mere$4.30! Ouch!

I am counting my blessings this year. Gas is now higher than diesel here locally.

2*I can uasally get quality road diesel for my truck for less than the cut rate stations who truck it in.
3*I have a bulk tank at home they deliver to for my off road.
4* It is a 150 gallon mininum for delivery.
5** It is sure nice having a bulk tank at home though. :)

1*I use an additive for on road diesel purchased from truck stops and service stations.
I also use it in fuel I buy from the fuel guy CALL it Off Road or CALL it Home Heating Oil.
2*The fuel at the stations / truck stops is no doubt in my mind the same stuff I get from the fuel guy without the red dye in it.
3*I have an 85 Gallon dual drum Pump and drum set up.
I get 55 gallons each time I have the system topped off there is no delivery charge.
4*There is a 150 gallon minimum for delivery at my supplier also that's why I go with top offs instead.
5*Sure is I love my rig.

No matter, this is still a poor subject matter for what a appears be a web community driven by professional tractor owners who have invested thousand in their equipment to throw it away over fuel cost or should I be stating "creative alternative nonsense". If you can't afford to buy the right fuel then I think we need to rethink why one has expense equipment in the first place. As a new member this subject is really disappointing and takes a huge whack out creditability of those who are providing the information to keep this going as a real discussion. I say "get real"

I'm not going spending 20k or more to throw in a bit of cheap alterive fuel to save a buck sorry. You go man. Whoooo this one got me going!:cool:
