So we have made diesel last 6-12 months but a tractor parked in a field for 70 years will start and run on the diesel thats 70 years old. Umm....great job?😕

There's a difference between "the manufacturer cannot garantee the fuel is still in line with specifications" and "it won't burn at all"

[@tcmtech7515]

Emission systems make it so that old fuel won't work in newer engines.

Is offroad diesel low sulfur ?

[@tcmtech7515]

No, modern diesel re not the most efficient. Emissions compliance has neutered them so badly that many can be outdone on fuel efficiency (and now operating costs) by any off-road built and tuned gasser of similar power ratings.

[@john.miller]

Maybe true with simply cruising, but pulling a load is a different story. Even with the ridiculous EGR and DPF requirements, gassers simply cannot compete with diesels when it comes to load efficiency.

@@john.miller Large fleet owners all over the country are now looking at the viability of gasoline-burning engines due to sheer operating/maintenance cost problems associated with diesel.
A $100K plus savings on purchase price and operating costs over the life of a commercial rig buys a lot of gasoline!
