Some of the information in the other posts is correct.


There are a few different kinds of #2,Low sulfer on-highway no-dye(red).#2 off-highway high sulfer with red dye. Off highway fuels have higher sulfer content and are cheaper because they are taxed different. #2 has parafin wax in it which solidifies at about 15*f. It also has a higher btu content with the parafin wax.#2 is not dyed green it just looks like it because of the additives. Some fuels have a slight green color, some brown, some clear.

If you get caught with red fuel in an on-highway vehicle you better bend over because you will get a very steep fine.

You can run keroseen or #1 all year long if you want to but since it has fewer btu's than #2 you will suffer in fuel mpg and power.
You can blend #1 and #2 fuels all you want any time of year you want with no damage to the engine.


Keroseen and #1 are about the same except, kero. is refined more for things like space heaters. It's almost the same as jet fuel.

All these fuels lubricate the fuel system just fine. Remember- most Mb fuel systems are basicly low pressure 200 300 psi max. So just about any clean fuel oil will work.
