#1 vs #2 Diesel

[Deleted member 59498]

I have two stations I generally fill up at, one is #1 and the other Chevron is #2. I have read online #2 is better for the engine, #1 is better for winter though. What would you guys run?

I’d verify this

against my owners manual.....but the above seems sensible.

Thanks! Didn't see that. Manual is worse than a Western Civilization 100 class

Looks like Chevron wins even if a few pennies more. Or half and half during super cold days, we generally get a few weeks of -10F but mostly garage kept in winter.

I’d ask some locals; it’s better to plan ahead like you’re doing. If you miss it.....and there’s a severe gelling situation, the only thing that will solve it is maybe a dose of Power Service 911 or it being towed to an indoor facility.

In any event.....I’d also look into keeping a few more sets of fuel filters on hand and in stock than you normally would.

#2 with an additive for colder climates is the answer. I kept a bottle of Diesel 911 when I lived in upstate NY where it would regularly see -45.

Regular -45° in upstate NY? Wowwwwwww.....never heard that making the news down in my area.

Our wonderful unit decided that would be the best time for field training too Upside to running the Intel platoon was knowing how terrible the weather and terrain was going to be in advance.
