Diesel fuel #1 and #2

[grsthegreat]

Not sure how it works in your part of the country, but here in N. Idaho the off road and standard #2 diesel flows from same tank. They have an inline dye system to add color during delivery.

This station #1 Diesel at Pumps 6 Bays. The off Rd. is a separate set of pumps just for Diesel/Off-Rd.. The dye sure was super dark Red this time. Very Noticeable so I'm thinking there Injecting the Dye and the other Pump next to it is the #2 Diesel. Is the off Rd, Dyed #2 You can bet money when I see the owner next I'll be asking. No doubt about that!!

Since the government is banning dyes……nevermind. Just waking up.

First cup here. Creamer even dry!
It's next Right?

Oh no, they better not be using Red dye #40......my 7.3 powerstroke and yanmar could have cancer

Not that familiar with Bio. Diesel and I mentioned The Bio burn off could be the cause of the bad smell. Temperature will shorten the life span.
The challenge with producing 100% biodiesel fuel is the vegetable nature of it. It's prone to spoiling, just like the products you store at home. If biodiesel fuel is kept at a warm temperature for too long, it could potentially grow mold, which would not be good for any vehicle. On the flip side, if stored in freezing temperatures, it will harden and pose issues when consumers try to fill up. Until technology improves, automakers do not recommend a blend higher than B5 for passenger vehicles.

You might have a look at "hydrotreated vegetable oil" diesel. It is made from vegetable oils, but it doesn't oxidize or absorb much of any water.

I don't work for Nesté, but I do use it as a fuel, and I would not voluntarily go back to biodiesel in any form. (I'm already out several thousand in damages due to biodiesel, and the final bills aren't in yet.)

All the best,

I have heard negative stories about biodiesel all bad

Biodiesel can have both positive and negative impacts on diesel engines. While it can improve lubricity and reduce particulate emissions, it can also lead to issues like fuel filter clogging, reduced fuel economy, and potential damage to modern common rail systems.

It will vary. Older diesels are well adapted to run on nearly anything. Modern diesels are very limited to run on other juice not made from petroleum.

Thus, old Yanmars have a great advantage over their modern machines. When Yanmar changed to a different fuel pump system, then all bets were off to use nearly anything as fuel (aka soy, peanut oil, etc.)

Many of the older diesel engines, not just Yanmar can run on nearly any plant based oils. Mr. Diesel himself wanted an engine to be self sufficient for their owner no matter their location or country. This way, fuel would not be an issue.

There are odd or evil intentions on how and why Mr. Diesel died along with the petrol companies thru a well know family name in the world stole his patents thereafter.

On a slightly different tack, I used to buy ethanol-free Avgas at the local small airport for my small engines in my mowers. Last time I went, was told I cannot due to the lead in the fuel (100 octane ultra low lead). Sad, the stuff ran well and never filled the carb. It's additive time for me now.
