What scares me about diesel is the refusal to honor warranty when bad fuel has been purchased.
I don't think diesel is cheaper to keep running either.
:(. Yes been thru that with my pickup diesel.
Todays diesel fuel has changed, less sulphur = less lubricity. With my truck I have been putting fuel additives in for years and it runs fine....that is until my fill up at Pilot. They have bio-diesel mixture. I filled
my truck snd drove 150 miles or so and had a "water in fuel" message come on. Well, I purchased my 2500 HD in 2006 and never have seen that message before. I checked and drained some fuel from the
filter and periodically still get that message. It also threw a an exhaust code as well. What have they denied and said bad fuel caused it.
It was a naturally aspirated 7.3, In order to give you an accurate answer, it was too long ago for me to remember what is was. Sorry, I made too many repairs on that truck and my brain automatically cleared its history about it.
I didn't even know I had that function but sure enough, I went into 'my settings', 'General health' clicked 'brain functions' and 'auto clear' was already selected. :)
During this pandemic I'm spending a little too much time on my phone.
