Beavis and Butt-Head Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 interesting, so duramax runs better if you go with kerosene blend ? which is higher price than ULSD type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine him/they presenting this to the board and everyone in there saying bravo. They were either afraid to speak up in fear of losing their jobs or maybe, like him, they also have no clue when it comes to anything relating to vehicles? http://bestride.com/news/entertainment/wow-people-sure-hate-the-looks-of-the-2020-silverado-hd-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Typically with bio diesel blends there isn't much of an issue with lubricity. The sulfur in the fuel used to provide all the lubricity. With ULSD that is gone. Biodiesel and lubricity improver additives are used now. The viscosity is similar, not sure there is big enough difference there. Small changes are common even with different crude stocks and refineries in the US. Europe EN590 US ASTM D975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
