Its sad that I had to buy a tractor to start learning about diesel fuel. :laughing: I will keep buying from my supplier and not think twice.

Low sulfer is actually better for your tractor. This government mandated Ultra low sulfer fuel is actually so bad that you better be using diesel fuel conditioner. Truck drivers all do. Mahindra has its own brand that works great. Just like ethanol in gas ruins engines, this new fuel wreaks havoc on seals and gaskets. I think a pint does like 500 gallons. Good luck !

MahindraDon, I agree with you on the ULSD lubricating property. I have run Power Service in the tractor since day one. I use the grey bottle in the summer and the white in the winter. Would not think about running it without some type of fuel conditioner.

Truck drivers do not all add conditioners but refiners do add lubricity, etc. Just like they add anti-gel in the winter. The anti-gel additives are cheaper than putting out real No. 1 fuel.
