Turkey Hill fuel
I have gotten fuel at turkey hill twice now. Both times I leave and within miles I'm spewing white smoke. I continue until I get on it and blow the crap out. Doesn't happen with any other gas station. Any idea what might be going on? It's fine the rest of the tank.
Unrelated(I think): My local hess station has replaced their strait diesel with a 2% biodiesel mix. Time to run a tank or two and replace some fuel filters.

True, it's not a good price overall, but compared to strait diesel, the BD markup around here is insane.

I'd rather run straight diesel. I just pour in some Diesel Kleen every few tanks. I've dabbled in ATF too.

Anyway, the 7.3 can run on used (filtered) ATF up to 90/10 ratio of ATF to Diesel without major differences in the way it runs. Personally I have never run that much. But I did run a tank of 50/50 ATF/Diesel. Theres a lot of info about it over in the Alternative Fuels section.

Holy crap, I have never heard of this... Any old ATF or certain forms? A buddy has a garage, I'm sure I could get barrels of it cheap. I could just pour it into a half full tank and go? Filtering it first of course.

This is the pump I'm gonna get eventually.

Then tie that in to a spinon-filter element, pop on a filter and away we go!

That's freaking brilliant. There's 2 tranny shops in the area and my buddy's general mechanic shop. I'm going to read up more and see if ANYONE has done it on a 6.0. That's awesome info, and that pump is a good deal too.
