The only trucks I have seen running #2 diesel in Manitoba in the winter time are the one's sitting froze up alongside the road.
If you're fuelling in Manitoba after Sept 15 of the year you're running number 1 anyhow. Most Canadian truckdrivers know better than to try to run #2 diesel in the wintertime. |

Same up here except normally they mix 1&2 |

My truck has never been on the side of the road. When I fuel up #2, it's in the states. Proper maintenance (and monitoring excess WATER in your system) go a long way. |

in my area, there is also no option for buying #1, #2, or blended fuel... you buy diesel and the distributors determine when they will blend #1 into the #2 to lower cloud point... never seems to be an issue. never encountered anyone in OTR that runs straight #1 but, i do know of the adverse effects of #1 in our local transit garage =( |
[/quote]It is also a good idea to drain any water accumulation you may get in your tanks occaisionally...less chance for it to be picked up into the fuel stream AND, there are little microorganisms which lieterally EAT diesel fuel but reside in the water and the fuel/water barrier. Their excrement resembles snotty bogies...and can gum up a filter real quick. So if you get your fuel from a joint that is "infected", if you will, your tanks can now be "infected" as well. There are bio-inhibitors out there that you add (just like anti-gel) to prevent or correct this.[/quote]
We used to use a diesel fuel conditioner that put a stop to the micro-organisims made all the difference in the world. |
