Oil & Fuel Diesel fuel

[Donnyj]

This may be a stupid question, but I thought I would ask anyway. I have always used off road diesel in all my tractors. Is off road diesel ok to use in the new tractor? Is there any additional maintenance that needs to be done if using off road fuel? Any additive that needs to be added if using off road fuel? Thanks in advance!!

Donny, the only difference is that it has red dye in it. Well, that and it may be high sulfur as the fuel that I buy from my oil company is. Some offroad diesel is low sulfur. Either way, you don't have to do anything differently.
I would suggest though that you buy a Mr. Funnel or a similar good filter to make sure you're not getting any water in your fuel. Your tractor's fuel filter will keep most of it from being a problem, but then you have to take the cup off and empty it when you see water in the bottom. The Mr. Funnel helps to make sure you don't get the water in the first place.
