I recently got 2 Case 580B diesel backhoes, and since I am new to diesels, I have questions about the fuel. First, both machines emit visible smoke until they are fully warmed up. One has a recently rebuilt engine, so I don't think this is an oil burning issue. The smoke is light gray- not blueish like oil smoke, nor black like i've seen from diesels under load. I am still running the fuel that came in the tanks, which is off-road diesel. I wonder if on-road diesel burns any cleaner? I'll be using my backhoe very little- just intermittent farm use, so probably the cost difference between on-road and off-road diesel will not amount to much in my case. Is one type of fuel better for the machine than the other? Also, since a tank of fuel may last me 6 months (after I finish grading and building my tractor barn), should I put some sort of fuel stabalizer in?
