long 460 diesel tractor

redoc33 · Mar 19, 2012

just wondering if i should add any additive or only use farm grade diesel in my 1991 long 460 tractor ? have been told that the new diesel has no sulphur in it and that this tractor may need it to keep damage for happening. Anyone have any sugestions?

there have been studies done to see what was the best lubricity additive, you can find them, but soy oil was the winner hands down. As little as 2 percent soy biodiesel will exceed what the old high sulphur had as far as lubricity charactaristics. This came from some Ford technical info from a few years back when the ULSD came out as it related to the older diesels especially the old rotary fuel injection pump 6.9l and 7.3l. I googled it once and found the results. The soy way outperformed all the fancy hi priced name brand additives on the wear test they do with a ball bearing .

I use dsl fuel conditioner at every fill up, keeps condinsation down and cleans fuel system and adds lube, I know some here think its a waste but to me it is well worth it cnt

I agree with you on this to, our local Coop got in Bio-fuel one summer and I was very impressed with it in my 97 Dodge w/Cumm dsl mileage was back to when I first got it, I wish they had kept getting it in cnt

most places that sell diesel fuel to farmers will have it in their fuel.
It is simply soy biodiesel.
