Oil & Fuel off-road diesel?

powerstroke6ltr · Mar 17, 2005

creeper. i know what you mean. The closest 'road' diesel place fo business is about 10 miles or so, whereas the closest 'off road' diesel place is about a few miles. Although, I have no problem going the extra mile for the tractor's well being.
Thanks for the help! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As has been previously mentioned both in this thread and in the Fuel, Oil & Lubricants forum, what you get for off-road diesel will vary from supplier to supplier even within you own region. It always pays to ask if you are in doubt.

For example, I can get 3 completely different types of fuel that is sold as off-road diesel near where I live. They are premium high cetane dyed, dyed on-road blend, and home heating oil. The only thing in common is the dye placed in the fuel at the regional distribution terminal or by the refinery.

Sounds like I should go around and ask about the different fuels the stations stock...thanks

Around these parts the only difference between road use and off road use is $250 a gallon fine if you are caught using off road fuel in your pickup! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Check with the local farm store. They'll know who sells it locally. It won't be at your neighborhood fuel stop/quick mart. It will be at some backwater station near where the dirt contractors headquarter or at a Fleet & Farm type store that has fuel pumps, too. If you have a local farmers' co-op, they likely sell it or can point you in the right direction.
