    Brother n' law says off road diesel is bad

    He says that off road diesel is bad because it plugs injectors and is not as efficient and that sort of thing. Says it doesnt burn as good because the die doesnt burn and ends up plugging things up and that sort of thing. Ive been running it but want to know if i should or not? mike
