Diesel fuel, what do you use???
What fuel will you run your MB diesel engine on???
I have used Canola oil, Crisco oil, Corn oil, Bio diesel, hydraulic oil, used or new ATF, any NEW = clean engine or differential oil or Kerosene. I am trying to compose a list for people considering MB diesel.

I run Diesel or Biodiesel only, sometimes with a little Redline, Diesel Purge, or Power Service in it if I'm not running Biodiesel.

Just filled our first tank of Bio. I don't know what percentage it is. Now we have to burn it up and check the mileage.

I run regular #2 diesel fuel. Sometimes I will add a gallon or used corn oil to sweaten the pot.

Diesel, Veg Oil, Motor Oil (clean), Anything that burns?
I got some creamy looking diesel (really bad/old gas?) from a barrel at dad's work and my car did NOT like that juice. It didn't start very well and ran like CRAP! (no power). Took me a coupel tankfulls to get that crap out. |
