Ok, so we just got relocated to CA for the next year. It’s a small town, thankfully, and I went to fill up at one gas station that looks “trustworthy“ but I got confused. I saw the D2 on the pump and started pumping. At 3.4 gallons in I stopped it due to reading this sticker… is this ok for our 6.7’s? (Mine is a 22.) I had a half tank when I started pumping so I figure 3.4 gallons isn’t too bad but didn’t want to fill it all the way up… thoughts?
Well that’s good to know! Since I picked my truck up I have never not filled it up when fueling… this was a first time I haven’t!
I am not sure what the fuel is… is it renewable? And if it’s all you run, is that because it’s mostly what is here in CA? The Loves I filled up at in Bakersfield before getting here was B20. Now the closest Loves to me is 45 minutes away.
How is it compared to other fuels as far as mpg’s or even regens?
Our F550's get 6 mpg tops with our load so I can't comment on that.
no different in power.
That is what most stations have around Paso Robles.
Hey we are just up the road from Paso Robles. We are in Greenfield and this is at the Shell station at the north end right off 101.
Anyway, I am wondering if it is renewable. If it is I will feel better about it. I just hope it's not actually greater than 20% Biodiesel.
Just north of us in Salinas I can get "diesel" for $4.48/gallon + discount fees via my TSD card, however, that is 31 miles away. I was talking to my neighbor a little bit ago and he says he does actually travel to the Loves to get his fuel, but I think he travels that way for other things too... I do have to go up that way 2 weekends from now so I'll see. I would like to just get the fuel at the Shell though since it is so close, and I get at least $0.10/gallon discount with the Shell card (and yeah, for these prices, I will take any discount I can get!)
Seems pretty clear from the sign that it is more than 20% biodiesel. I don't know what your '22 can handle. But the manual for my '15 says that I am not to use anything more than B20. And I should not even use B20 all of the time. So I suggest reading your manual carefully before pumping your tank full of that stuff.
What i have found out is that "renewable diesel" is not bio fuel.
renewable diesel is supposed to be chemically the same as #2 diesel and is suitable for all diesel engines.
somewhere here in the 6.7 fourm is a thread on it.

If I'm correct with it being renewable fuel, its completely different than biodiesel. Its fully compatible with modern diesel engines and is a direct replacement for petrol diesel.

Thats the thing… it isn’t clear at all. It doesn’t exactly say that it contains even any biodiesel. Based on some info I have come across it seems it is most likely renewable which is different from biodiesel, but this sticker makes is clear as mud… at least to me.

I am hoping that is what this is… I still haven’t put anymore in my tank so far…
Biomass means it is based on plant material such as corn oil, soy oil, etc. You cannot use the term Bio, short for biological, if its is not using organic material as the basis for the fuel. Renewable fuel is based off used motor oil, or other petroleum ingredients.
FTC rules stipulate that if diesel contains more than 5% bio mass, then it must be stated on the pump, but there is no requirement if its based on renewables since its 100% petroleum based. Bio-Diesel is not petroleum based.
