I know a boater based out of Nova Scotia, and can ask him for a local source, if you need it. He's boating around the UK right now, so answer may be a little slow, but let me know if you still need this and I'll try to get ahold of him.
I'll bite, as I run both red and green. If I happen to be driving conveniently close to a station that carries red, I'll make a special stop for it. But I'm not wasting a half hour of my time and a few dollars in gasoline for my truck, to make a dedicated trip across town, just to avoid paying an extra few dollars for 5-6 gallons of diesel.
Sure would be appreciated, I'd rather go the pre-emptive route and prevent it rather that have to get rid of it, proactive rather than reactive so to speak
. As I said, I've only found it available on line and if it does ship, you need a second mortgage to get it...........Mike
Cool. I'll reach out to him by email tonight. Will likely be a week before he responds, last I heard he was in the ocean off the coast of the UK doing a boat delivery. But as his home base is Nova Scotia, and he does a lot of commercial boating, he'd know the local source if there is one.Sure would be appreciated, I'd rather go the pre-emptive route and prevent it rather that have to get rid of it, proactive rather than reactive so to speak
Meee toooo
First of all, red diesel here is straight #2 with nothing but the dye added to it in the winter. It's NOT winter diesel, pump diesel has everything already added to make it winter diesel. I buy it, and add NOTHING to it, and have NEVER had even one problem with gelling no matter how cold it gets.
I don't purchase my diesel in small quantities ever. I'm usually buying a couple hundred gallons at a time and I have it delivered and yes, I keep my tractor fuel tanks as full as possible all the time and still add Powerservice Bio Kleen anyway. Full tanks during ambient temp swings like we have here, gets little in tank condensation thus little water and no algae.
Not me. I buy in bulk always because I use a lot of fuel during planting and harvest
It doesn't matter if I buy a couple hundred gallons or 25, red is red here and the price break is 300 with an added charge for delivery, last I asked it was 10 cents a gallon.

I'm reasonably confident that at some point with no biocide additives, you'll get to experience the dark colored stinky slime....
That's why I'm looking for an algecide. Currently all I'm doing is making sure I keep my tank full and checking the fuel bowl each time I use it.
You are probably right, but when?? We have been doing it this way since 1982, so when??
