New Amalgamated TDR Formula

Hate it when we get this stuff shoved down our THROATS. Thanks EPA for nothing. I don't use it, and don't want to use it.

It isn't all the EPA shoving the 5% Bio-Diesel at us. In many states (WA / AZ have been mentioned, I live in IL and I know it's true here) the state dept of revenue gives the fuel distributors a break on the fuel tax if they blend in 5% Bio. The midwest states are especially keen on doing this because he Bio is made from corn that their farmers produce.

No additives needed with 5% Bio. We have had 5% minimum Bio for several years in MN without problems. Bio is a Soy product.

5% bio is surprisingly uncommon around here, only one station I'm aware of and unfortunately I don't get out that way very often. I would run it all the time if I could.
Fortunately ethanol has also stayed out of the gas pumps in all but one or two stations as well. I avoid them.

5% bio scarce here. 10% ethanol mandated. There was talk of the EPA mandating 50 state gasoline. In the event of refineries going down or other supply problems,states could draw from other sources. However,I don't wish ethanol on anybody. It out to be chucked.

During his talk at the CMEP tour in June, a Cummins engineer told us some fuel treatments have metal ions in them that are harmful to the fuel system.

 

[RWalker]

Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT or MCMT) is an organomanganese compound with the formula (CH3C5H4)Mn(CO)3. Marketed as a supplement to the gasoline additive tetraethyllead to increase a fuel's octane rating. The additive is also very effective in reducing smoke and particular emissions in diesel fuel.



Engine manufacturers do not want any metals in the fuel that could cause harm to their engines but MMT additives today are not comprised entirely of Metals due to the limits allowed in the on road fuels. Yes you can still add MMT to on-road fuels but limits have been set by the EPA by volume. MMT is used very sparingly in the U. S. and most manufacturers of additives do not use the additive due to regulations but some countries still allow the use of MMT to improve the octane rating of gasoline.
