Ok, I'm a greenhorn when it comes to diesel tractors. I just bought a Yanmar. The dealer said:
-use off-road diesel #2
-do not use kerosene?
-just look for the red dye
-he gave me a small can of CD-2 cold weather diesel treatment to add to fuel during cold times
I go to the Exxon and ask for off-road diesel. The counter person looks at me funny. He has no clue. The have 2 pumps. One says diesel with no numbers (1 or 2). The other is a pump to a 250 gal exterior tank that says "Dyed Kerosene" not taxed, not for on-road use.
I am assuming the second one is the right one, but it says "Kerosene" not diesel. I've read 3 pages of posts in this fuel section. I don't think straight Kerosene is ok. Can someone direct me to the correct post or explain.
