Diesel at gas station safe for tractors?

Posted by Billy NY on August 03, 2015 at 09:10:27 from (104.228.35.235):

Years ago, I'd more than likely not be concerned, but with ultra low sulfur and or injection pumps, figured it might be wise to see if there is any problems with getting my fuel from a fill station nearby, brand new tank farm and pumps at a local convenience store that was demolished and totally rebuilt. I won't be using that much fuel, for the amount of work I do currently, so I'll likely get some new fuel cans, and pay as I go. I'd like a small transfer tank with a pump, a caddy on wheels, enough for one refill, say 30-50 gallons max, but with just my car on the road at the moment, the cans will do just fine and I can lift them with no trouble. I use a plastic lid for a catch pan, in the trunk, just in case, as spilled gas or diesel will reek. They'll be kept in the garage in winter. I may be able to get off road at the pump somewhere too, have one connection at a large fuel company to speak with, but thought it a good one to post here.

If I just want to fill up near the house, is there any difference besides the dye in it? Tractor is a late 90's 3 cylinder turbo 4630 ford, not sure what injection pump is in this one, but before I embark on field work, be good to know about if there are any issues, should I question the supplier see what it is? Across the road is a 24 hour pump, at the well known diesel repair shop, I could drive it there if need be, but hate going on this busy state road for any length of it with a tractor. I'd also like to avoid going there for repairs, he's the best in the area, but you'll pay for that just the same, been a top notch outfit for 30+ years.

May be no concern at all, but with the expense of these kinds of fuel systems, best to know either way.

Winter conditioner, I'd like to use something in case its real cold or I'm out in it longer than expected, but this one will be parked in a heated garage, only working outside when needed and back into the garage. I have no idea whats out there today for winter conditioning, besides the winter blend. I've experienced froze up fuel systems in extreme cold, its never any fun!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
