Truth.
In the past (few years ago)
Off-road and highway diesel had different sulfur levels. Off-road had more.
But now that's all changing/ already changed in most areas.

I was having touble with my combine losing power this year and couldnt figure out why. Turns out my supplier switched to ULSD off-road this summer. That deutz engine is not a fan.
threaten your Deutz you'll give it a new home like this one.......

I love it.
They say deutz engines are expensive to work on, ill have to take their word for it because that thing has never gave me a lick if trouble. For a 190 hp 5.9L diesel it sips fuel for the amount of work it does. But it is NOT a fan of ULSD. I bet I lost 30hp with this new crap in the tank.

Man, that is a REALLY cool looking engine...

I just came home from the Trinidad area up north. Around Willits I saw a chp scale truck, crown vic and a little sign wanting trucks to stop for inspection. Well there was a creeper leaning against the scale truck tailgate.
I saw a 200ish duramax with a flatbed pulled over at their little spot.. I dont wanna know what they were doing.. im thinking about calling chp to ask what its all about and would I have to stop since im a pickup

Deutz? Are you using a 60s Alice or something?
2188s 8.3 doesn't seem to mind, but I've never used it before the ulsd swap.
It did about a gallon an acre during wheat harvest 2011 with ~8000hrs. Didn't pay attention when I was running it last fall in corn/beans. Has almost 10k now.

I'd use it in a heart-beat...and keep an empty bottle of ATF in the bed > if the-man dips your tanks tell the ***** you put ATF in the fuel to lubricate the pump and injectors.
Fock this Government and the EPA > we're being charged a ridicules price for diesel that really isn't worth sh*t!
BTW, when leaving New Jersey last week heading (back to Pa) I saw a station selling "off road diesel" for $3.49 a gallon...if not on the other side of the road and a pain in the butt to turn around I would have filled BOTH my tanks with the stuff > that's even if the the seller would have let me pump it into my truck???

R50 Gleaner. It has close to 3000 engine hours on it. Brother wants to do an 8.3 swap on it but I am very reluctant. I'm going to have to try to time it for the new fuel, I noticed it not building the same amount of boost either. I can't give an gallon/acre amount but I know it will run a couple days on a 100 gallon tank with all day running

But a 2188 is processing much more grain than my 50 so it's going to hog the fuel a little harder.
Usually unless you know the guy they won't let you pump straight into your tanks. A transfer tank or a 55 gallon drum is a worthwhile investment sometimes.....

Yeah they will sell it, there in the business of selling it. But ya better have 5 gallons cans to put it in or big tank in the bed. Places that sell a lot of it, have been known to have a Fed sitting around the corner watching. Your only going to save .40 a gallon, but it could cost a hell'va lot more if caught.

Here red fuel is way more than #2. About a dollar more.
Only one station even has red fuel probably within 100 miles. They don't pay attention.
Guy put about $50 of kerosene in his truck "on accident."
Came in and said the pump isn't marked... Bull. Damn idiot.
Red nozzle for off-road.
Green for #2.
Yellow for kerosene.
Says right by the nozzle hanger.

Well Kerosene will definitely drop the power levels and mileage, and just wait to hear that knock!
Since both on and off road have the same levels of cetane and pretty much only differ in color and taxes, it's just a hassle to accidentally fill a tank or a couple of cans with fuel from the farm's fuel storage tank for my truck. But if I ever were to such a thing, the additives I'd have to put in to offset the loss of power and efficiency would nullify any gains with how in WI we have more cops than good (I mean regular) drivers who like to do the easy duties by dipping farm trucks or older trucks in general. Honestly, the quality of fuel my folks get is reason enough to never stop in and fill the tanks off of the farm. It's just plain poor quality crap compared to fuel from a few years back, and this is pretty much the same across the board around here. But bear in mind I'm old enough to remember too much and mentally compare the past and present. I can feel the "I remember whens..." sneaking into my general speech, that's not good
But I do have my own blend of additives that gets added when I fill the tank to offset what I get when I fill up the truck. Works for me, we all like our own stuff. My dad is still an STP Oil Additive junky

Um, the money from the fuel taxes goes to maintain the roads... If you don't want to pay fuel taxes maybe we should raise everyone's income taxes some more, even though they're pretty high now, or you could just stay off the roads since you don't want to pay to maintain them.
The penalty or fine for running ORD is not the problem. Once caught, they submit your name to the IRS as a known tax evader. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm just not that interested in having the IRS take a close look (audit) at my books...
