Re: Diesel types Reply #25 – November 12, 2016, 07:59:46 pm Texas does do a lot of checks. They set up at Texas Motor Speedway fairly often and check RV's and PU's. I have heard that they check at Canton First Monday Trade Days, and many more of this type of events. We use the red diesel on the farm but I am afraid to run it in anything on the highway. My son said they were set up at the auction barn back in the spring. I am going to add another tank to run the generator off of, in the future.Carter LangfordNac- Quote Selected

They are almost always cleaner, less congested, and easier in and out. Fuel price is usually competitive with other stations in the immediate area.Pacific Pride Commercial Fueling - Cardlock Fuel Network - USA and CanadaI have the Pride Advantage card issued by Pioneer Fuel in Olympia, WA. it is a "swipe & pump" card honored at all PP locations nation-wide, and also at all Love's Travel Stops. Highly recommended.application Quote Selected 3 Likes

Just print out the application, mail it in. A very nice lady will call you and set up your account. Once you have the cards, you're good to go. They bill you at the end of the month - send you a email copy plus a paper copy in the mail. You have to link a bank account to your fuel card. About a week after they send you the bill, they debit the owed amount from your bank account. No fees, no extra charges, no hassle.I keep a separate bank account specifically for my Pacific Pride card and my Flying J RVPlus card. They both tell me (ahead of time) what I owe - I transfer that amount into the special account - they debit their payment out of the account. Do it all online - EASY!EDIT: I just looked at the application form linked above. I see they now also allow you to pay by debit from a credit card account. Quote Selected 3 Likes
Re: Diesel types Reply #29 – November 13, 2016, 01:16:25 am Quote from: P. Wyatt Sabourin – November 11, 2016, 12:58:53 pmThe last tank of fuel I got in Lynden Washington was B20 because that was all that was available. I have noticed over the last couple years how B5 has become harder to find and am worried about what repairs may be required after using B20 for awhile.Does anyone know what changes I should make to mitigate the possible damage caused by using B20 in a mid nineties M11.Here is the quote from the Cummins web site: What materials are incompatible with biodiesel?Natural rubber, butyl rubber and some types of nitrile rubber (depending on chemical composition, construction and application) may be particularly susceptible to degradation. Also, copper, bronze, brass, tin, lead and zinc can cause deposit formations. The use of these materials and coatings must be avoided for fuel tanks and fuel lines. Fuel fittings and connectors are acceptable due to the small surface area in contact with the fuel.In addition bio-diesel has much less BTU content per given quantity. Which results in less power & lower fuel economy. So it would seem that one can run B-20 in a pinch to get some where, But I wouldn't run it all the time. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Diesel types Reply #30 – November 28, 2016, 01:46:51 pm I have a "Good Sam" Pilot/FlyingJ RVPLUS credit card, however, since Pilot and FlyingJ became one, the 8 cent per gallon discount with the RVPLUS card means their diesel is still 20 cents per gallon more expensive then paying cash to the competition. I have not used it for a couple years. Quote Selected
Re: Diesel types Reply #31 – November 28, 2016, 03:15:26 pm The DEF fluid is also known as AD Blue. It is used in a separate tank on some of the newer trucks and busses as well as on VW Touaregs, Mercedes and some Jeep Grand Cherrokee diesels. It is sprayed into the exhaust to modify the exhaust output. The AD Blue tank has its own pump, sender, and heater, and is generally a pain in the sit upon!! Also corrosive.How do I know?? I have a VW Touareg, 2010, and the heater failed causing the stuff to solidify, block the sender and then cost $3800 to fix!!! VW picked up the complete bill I am glad to say. But if you look on line you will see horror stories re this stuff.Fortunately our coaches don't need it (YET)!!!Speedbird 1 Quote Selected
