Allan: You indicate in your thread you don't like using alcohol in diesel fuel. I can understand your concerns. One of your respondents running truck to Alaska, quoted the effect on injectors.

Now lets compare his use to yours. His truck was probably sucking back 100 gallons of diesel per day. Compare that to your winter time use. Really, how much is a 63 year old man going to use open station tractors in sub zero weather? I think the damage you do will be at a minimum. I know this 63 year old would not use a lot of fuel without a cab.

Back when I was farming my, IH diesels never saw very much winter use. My Deere went 8 hours per day 5 days per week. That machine saw more alcohol an ether than I care to mention. Much of it's winter time operation was miles from any electricity. 14,000 hours before head or pan were off. Had one set of injectors and two pumps. One of the pumps got a dose of water in summer, had an operator not playing with a full deck.
