So it's not a normal thing to have at the local gas station? Most of them around here have a pump for it and also a racing gas pump at couple of them too.

Only a couple around here.

he is referring to fuel that is normally used in Excavators, backhoes etc...

It is a different color than normal diesel.
Yeah...

but I still think they're adding 'bio' products.

I don't think so.

A buddy of mine sells Bio fuel. There are problems with it. THe Bio fuel is so clean it usually causes clogs in the system. Now this is for homes but I am sure it would play havoc on the filters in trucks.

Mom is 200% right. If the coppers catch you with the wrong color fuel in your tank the fines are very steep. Thought it might be a little tougher to get caught in a van versus a truck where you can look into the tank.
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

I've heard they pull it from the water separator

Mother is right, water separator or they will take a dip out of the tank.  If it's red you're screwed.

add 5% kerosene.  kerosene is just #1 diesel anyhow..

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It happens with every fresh fill.

After I add Diesel 911 the problem disappears.

If the problem was gelling I'd go that route.

The problem is not gelling.

Why would you want it over highway stuff? Cheaper?

No...

it still contains sulfur which acts as a lubricant in the injection pumps.

Bio diesel may not be suitable for older injection systems and will work as a solvent, disturbing dirt.  Good stuff when used early on in compatible systems.

Different (cheaper) tax rate.  It is dyed red so the tax people know.

Have you talked to your oil delivery people?  911 works both for water and cold weather jelling.

No...

I'm going on the info from my service guy...

and the fact that a heat gun on the line where it exits the tank resumes the flow.

Usually heat doesn't re-liquefy diesel.
