Until recently diesel was diesel, when they filled our farm tank with "off road high sulphur" diesel it was road diesel with red dye to show the lack of road tax (watched them dump in the dye as they filled the tanks).

NEW diesel laws going into effect (next week)greatly reduce the allowable sulphur in the fuel. (This is part of the reason for high diesel cost, as the refineries were out of production to be converted to the new fuel.) This will burn OK in the older stuff (not sure about valve and ring lubrication though, migh want to add a conditioner) but old fuel in the new highway motors will plug up the emissions equipment and void warranty. I know that units that come back are going to have the fuel tested so the manufacturer can avoid paying for the $$ repairs.

Good info on #1 and #2 in other post.
