Premium Diesel... ?

Okay, if true, then I need to check the pump to see if I am buying ULSD fuel? Soon,I shall look at the Marvel container to find out if it is compliant. Thanks, for the warning! Being old school, I don't see how ADDiNG OIL can make something lubricate less? Yes, I like reading this site so that I can find out about different opinions, and options.At any rate ,I will check on it before adding any more to my tank.jy. OO-

They problem with that plan is, when adding Marvel Mystery oil to ULSD fuel, it reacts with the additives in the fuel, and actually lowers the lubricity. :thumbsup:

This information is available on the web. It was proven in a study done by an independent testing lab.

The study is cited in many threads on fuel additives, here on TBN.

They tested many popular fuel additives, and found many needed to be reformulated for ULSD.

I do not know if MMO has been reformulated due to this yet.

If your additives do not specifically say something like: "ULSD Compliant", or ULSD Formulated", you should stop using them.

Sometimes good intentions are your worst enemy.

I am told high sulfur is still available, at least here, for off road.

But, I can't buy it around in this area at the pump. I would have to order a truck load.

Oil additives, and fuel additives have gotten very complicated.

Just like drugs can interact and produce unintended, and even opposite results, additives can do the same thing.

Off road use still allows the regular sulfur fuel, Our company can buy it for standby gen-sets, and it is cheaper. Some fuel pumps have the very latest cut in fuel, which is very low sulfur. The Kroger pump that I have been using lately does not have a label I have seen. So that makes three different forms of Diesel here , I don't qualify for Farm Fuel, and have no idea about the compositon of it?I have used PowerService in the winter for gelling.

What is farm fuel?

 

[ray66v]

Farm fuel can be high sulfur, or ULSD depending on what they order.

I add a small amount of this in off road ULSD, for insurance: Diesel Fuel Improver It scored very high in the study.

The main difference in Farm Fuel here is the road TAXES, or at least a lot different. Supposed to be put in special marked storage tanks, and it has Dye in it. Big problems if you have it in a road unit. jy.

Oh, So you meant Off Road.

Why don't you qualify for Off Road fuel?

Every one qualifies for off road fuel as long as they don't use it on the road.

I use off road fuel on the road. in a tractor of course.

This week-end,I noticed the fuel I bought at Kroger is 15 ppm , the ultra-low sulfur fuel.Jy.
