Both trucks had over 130,000 miles on them. . . .
It would be a terrible coincidence if those two friends got their diesel from the same source . . .and if they did not use a lubricity additive.
Lubricity agents are supposed to be added to diesel before the pump. But that's not always reliable;
....according to Power Service, www.powerservice.com, an additive manufacturer that operates its own testing lab, “approximately 40% of the ‘ready for sale’ fuels obtained in North America during 2010 did not meet the 520 HFRR
In other words, your diesel supplier may not be supplying good quality diesel.
