Awful quiet this morning. Yinzers loose your crayons?? Have a good morning and gfy if required for some others.

Good morning men, that was maybe our last night of dog sitting. For a while anyway. The usual planes, trains and automobiles thing happened to our weary travelers. I warned them to avoid air travel, they would listen. Now they are complaining about the airlines, while I just smile! Tractor ready to go this afternoon, for my out of phase with everyone else hay cutting. Will double check the weather and will cut it all. Looks like I may have help picking them up as well.

I hope some of these

Just get a diesel unit, off-road diesel has sulphur in it and doesn't grow bacteria like road diesel can. Home heating oil is the same stuff. Get a tank and run it once in a while. Gasoline doesn't store well, and propane/natural gas you are too dependent on JIT delivery. Buy once, cry once. Unless you just want short term emergency backup, then just get something with pure sine wave.

Off road is dyed red to indicate its not taxed.
All diesel is now ultra low sulfur at less than 15ppm I thought.
Unless it's different in the south, you won't find anything with a higher content here.

Some, not all, off-road diesel still is not ULSD. You have to look for it, but can still get it, for now. What you do find is older fuel that is being sold to get rid of it. You are right that they do not make diesel with a higher than 15ppm sulphur content, but they still have a bunch of the 500ppm stuff in storage that they are using up in some off-road distributors. The ULSD stuff doesn't store well as it is a Petri dish for bacterias. That rust looking coffee grounds you find in diesels now is bacteria growth. It is a big problem as the higher sulphur content prevented it.

Made deviled eggs last night, so if you need some sulphur...

Good morning guys. It feels like we're living in a terrarium here.

So you are making sulphur dioxide yourself Tim?

@cus_deluxe sent us a pic of one of those on the street in his small town. A couple weeks later I saw one in Grand Rapids. Definitely an attention-getter. Not always positive attention but if you buy one you likely don't care. How could you?

I don't know what they are testing here Ed. But there has been an undercover vehicle in my area recently I've seen several times.

What I can tell you about diesel, is when the bio % is restricted to 5% in the wintertime, my truck runs real smooth, most noticeable at idle. In the warmer months when they increase the bio to 20% my truck idles rough. I’ve had this conversation with the fuel station owner, and his hands are tied by govt regulations. But he is not a fan of the bio diesel either.

I change my fuel filters annually every September (or about) and I have noticed all the little black specks in the filter pleating. At first I thought it was rubber fuel line deterioration, but after replacing the line, it was still happening. That bacteria is totally preventable. Make diesel great again.

Happy hump day fellas.

Blackness is usually what they call asphaltene contamination.
Brown snotty are usually algae contamination.
Both conditions take a different treatment to combat the effects.
I'm sure Larry can elaborate.
With the Sulphur being gone as a lubricant you could use a lubricate additive as long as you don't have an SCR/DEF afterteatment system.
