on a 2011 bx1860 any side effects of runing offroad fuel since it is for a church and can get it untaxed and can save 20 cents a gallon. 20c isn't much but every little bit helps.

Every one I have talked with stated the only difference today is the color of the die they put in it so the DMV man can tell if it has had the road tax paid on it. Most everone I know runs the red fuel.

in my area a few years ago, there was a difference in the sulfer amount. the on road was transisitioning to low sulfer but the off road was keeping its higher sulfer content. (15 ppm compared to 500ppm) since then the two types have met together and are now both ultra low sulfer. the only difference is the dye in the off road and the tax savings. i ran the off road back when it had the higher sulfer and i still run the off road now with the lower sulfer in my kubota engines= no trouble yet (over 900 and 500 hours). i do use the power service additive most of the time, especially winter. it has the slick diesel in it to help with lubricisity which the sulfer actually use to do. some older diesels might have issues with the ultra low sulfer with out an additive. i think your bx will be fine on off road. that is what i would use.

with newer engines that were built after ulsd came out do you still need to run an additive? in my 85 vw golf i use walmart 2cycle oil every time i fill up and every few month i will mix it with power service and my 6.0l f250 i just use the additive ford sells.

The pumps by me are labeled off road with 500ppm and the road diesel is ultra low under 15ppm. Does anyone have a high hour machine that was ran with the high sulfur? I do not know much about it as this is my first and only diesel. I would hate to wreck the engine in the long haul.
