ARCO TOP TIER GASOLINE
While waiting for a traffic light, I was handed a shiny flier with the ARCO label on it. "Top Tier Fuel" it shouted (exclamation point). Top tier fuel by definition, has to have all of the driveabi...

Top Tier Gas........blah blah blah
I only purchase 'Premium Diesel'
I like paying top tier prices for all those goodies
Even though it is NOT recommended by engine mfgs and it is very hard to find
So I have a 500 gallon trailer I tow around with premium diesel
Just curious as to what 'Premium diesel is?
Living in America, we pay 'top tier' for everything, if it is, in fact, or not.
Premium Diesel has a higher cetane number (equal to or greater then 45. US Law has 40 as minimum cetane), better lubricity and includes detergents that provide injector-cleaning capability versus standard #2 diesel.
Course very few stations list cetane numbers...and very FEW have premium. And if they do it is roughly 10% higher priced
Amoco, Texaco, Hess etc
No I do not have a 500 gal tank I drag around NOR do I use premium diesel.
My tractor motor rolls coal just fine on regular old #2
