Yep. Still driving my 01. 110,000 miles. And the best part is, the only problem I've had with the truck was a VP44 at 67,000 miles. Other than regular maintenance, it's been trouble free. Now that I say that the trans will blow up or something. OP you need to post your mileage. Now...

So what component/additive is used to raise Cetane in diesel fuel at the refinery? Or is it a component of the fuel itself? Also, I dive in Arizona a lot. I can not tell the difference in the way the fuel "Foams" between the fuel I buy in So Cal vs the fuel I buy in Arizona. They both foam.

Yea that is why I live in Pioneertown. 250 full time folks, 4500 feet, snow in the winter, just a little and I can go to the Palm Springs area to shop if I need to. Although once I retired it's hard to get me off the hill so to speak. If I can't find it in Yucca, I will order and UPS it...

I shop both, depending on where I am when I need fuel. Both the Chevron and the Shell directly across the street in Yucca are owned by G&M. I live in Pioneertown, so Yucca is closest. Yes, I know Chevron comes out of the community rack. I get a kick out of the guy who swears he gets better...

YOU my friend, have WAY too much time on your hands!:-laf Bottom line, I shop price. And if the cheapest place in town is less than . 20 per gallon less than Chevron, I will buy Chevron. Why you ask? Because I have a Chevron card and refuse to sit in long lines to save a couple of bucks. Even...

Please inform me what these additives are. I did a study on two stroke oil vs regular engine oil for use in my diesel fuel several years ago. The one thing that was missing from the two stroke oil that made it better to use in diesel fuel was ASH. The ASH is hard on the pistons and bores in a...

Final answer Okay. I just got off the phone with my informant. I will try to explain what he said, as we were on the phone for 30 minutes with this guy explaining so much stuff, that my head is swimming. :eek: Here we go. He transfers fuel out of the Colton, California refinery, tank, or...

I called the guy who I spoke with, but he does not answer his phone. Fathers day dinner or he is out on the road. As soon as I talk with him I will ask him about the jet fuel/diesel fuel line. In the mean time, after reading the test done for lubricity and how Power Service was way at the...

Just for you I will.

You totally disagree with what? Were talking about where and when the diesel fuel additives are installed in the fuel, not what YOU as a consumer put in after you buy the fuel. Re-read the first post.

On my previous post we talked about what is added to the diesel fuel to replace the lubricity lost by the process to remove sulfur. Today I remembered my wife works with a gal who's husband is a "Tanker yanker. " So I called him and here is what he had to say. Here in southern California...

I have that all under control. :-laf

Wow! Yea I bet ranch trucks are used and abused big time. Our trucks out here in CA are like city trucks in comparison. Even though I live in a very rural high desert area. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. I worked on some fleet truck accounts in my time and they were a dirty ***** to work...

Green Thumb Produce has a great deli inside of their store. An Italian family owns it. Great food and great produce. :-laf

I just replaced my heater core and recharged my A/C on my 01. Took me 4 hours to do the job. But, i was a tune up, electrical and A/C tech with Ford dealerships for 20 years. My A/C was not as cold as it used to be is the reason I recharged it. To do it RIGHT, you need to evacuate the system...
