Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2006New Diesel Numbers
I have been filling up with #2 diesel. Now, I see B5 biodiesel, and low sulphur fuels. I think that the 2007 and later will have to run the low sulphur fuels, but that you can run the low sulphur fuels in the older engines now. Is that right? What's this B5 biodiesel? I have a '06 Dodge with a turbo Cummin(g?)s. Any silver bullets about fuel buying?

Is that >right? Pretty much correct. Current fuel is "low sulphur diesel". 2007 and later engines will require "ultra low sulphur diesel" (ULSD). ULSD will be used in all diesel on-highway engines, including the older models.

So, I pretty much can run the B5, #2 or whatever degree of low sulphur they come out with in this "older" '06 engine? I was just kind of curious what the B5 "biofuel" designation is at the pump with the #2 diesel sticker right under it. It's not going to make my truck smell like fried fish, chicken, or potatoes, is it? ;-) Steve > I was just kind of curious what the B5 "biofuel" designation is at the pump > with the #2 diesel sticker right under it.

B5 probably won't be noticably different in any way. >I have been filling up with #2 diesel. Now, I see B5 biodiesel, and low >sulphur fuels.

It will be steadily reduced unitl 2013 under current regs and that will stay at 2013 level for a while which is quite low too. http://forum.snoman.com/viewtopic.php?t=227 ----------------- TheSnoMan.com No doubt they're going to have to design an additive package that will prevent the low sulphur fuel from killing existing engines, so that shouldn't be a problem. The "B5" refers to the percentage of biodiesel that is mixed into the blend with regular dinodiesel. B5 is 5% biodiesel, B100 is 100% french fry oil.
