Premium Diesel

[grizz272]

I stopped at a truck stop today. The diesel pumps in the car lanes had #2 diesel and for 6 cents more a gallon there was premium diesel. I have always used #2 diesel. What is premium diesel?

Saw that on a pump also. From what I could tell "Premium Diesel" is regular diesel, and their Diesel number 2, had in small letters "bio Diesel", which I wont use.

Considering a diesel engine is capable of running on vegetable oil, or old McDonald's French Fry grease, I'm not paying the extra for this. The price of diesel fuel is 50-75 cents higher than Regular gasoline. I think I'm already paying enough.

I pay extra for diesel additive even though I think that I am already paying more than enough for the #2 diesel. I do it for the other fuel system components. The engine's ability to run on **** fuel doesn't mean it isn't the weakest link in the system.

Around here there a local dealer that offers diesel with a cetane rating of 50 and calls it premium diesel. I don't know if it really matters or not. I never have any problem with "regular" diesel.

"What is premium diesel?"


Don't know, never heard of it.

You can only buy #2 at any station I have been to in California and 3 other states.
