No Limit intake...what I saw.

[swinky]

I like green fuel. I always fill a bottle up from the nozzle and give it the old clear and bright test. My local kangaroo has a slight green hue to it and the Wal-Mart across the street is more clear. I get better mileage on the greenish stuff.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Might as well take some green dye with you and shoot it in the tank to make yourself happy. Color unless it's dyed comes from where the oil came from and whatever they run in the cat cracker. It all has to meet the same standard at the end of the day. The diesel that comes out of the Coker unit in the last process...that's some ugly stuff. It goes in the tank with the good stuff though.

Whatever. I get better mileage with it. My dad's had diesel for 25 years now and has gotten better mileage with green stuff.

since we are on the fuel subject. fuel in new york has a very very slight green heu to it. fuel here in michigan is green. very green and i get better mpg by 1 or 2 a gallon with it.. its prolly more along the lines of the additives that are used im sure.

[WHY NOT]

I don't buy the all the different brands of fuel are the same either. I almost always fill up at a shell station and get decent milage. If I fill up at BP I drop 2mpg every time.

If you see better mileage it has nothing to do with the color.

What you believe about the fuel is irrelevant. Look up ASTM Fuel Standards.
Additives packages are what changes things.

I'm just saying the green additive helps mileage.

Unless his bp is like mine and is putting bio in w/o advertising. That could explain the decrease.

I've started to see more of this popping up, just a little label on the pump... trying to downplay it.

 

[RedRice589]

My truck gets the same mileage on red fuel as it does on green fuel or clear fuel.... and i don't pay taxes on it so its cool.

If you don't catch my sarcasm go sit in a corner. This stupid discussion needs moved to general discussion at least.

I can understand that they all come from the same place but at the pump the additives make them different. I guess I worded that wrong.

Exactly PHUCKING correct. I used to have pics of 5 different brand trucks loading at the same rack. The ONLY difference is the additive package put in at loading. There are no different qualities of fuel coming from any refinery. If there were I'm sure I'd notice it since I work in the units that produce it.

Which refinery? I used to scan columns a few years back and have been in every one in the Houston area and a lot out of state.

Some of yall have interesting thoughts about fuel.

There is a quality of diesel. Yes. However, just because the same trucks are lining up at a refinery does not mean they are all getting ONE fuel. They blend fuels ALL the time. One named station may be picking up 100% diesel while the other truck is recieving a blended Diesel with kerosene.

There is way more to this that a picture of 5 different trucks sitting at one tank farm. Knowing a petroleum operator would greatly help one with this knowledge. Its NOT published on the interweb GALAXY of believe everything you read on the interweb. LOL

ASTM is a target standard. Some refineries and blenders use a much higher standard.

Going off ASTM is like saying obama care is sufficent for all. No specialist needed the family practicioner can also treat your cancer.

There are also alot of waste chemicals that get blended into fuels... EXCEPT California.


Im not trying to get anyones feathers ruffled here.. specifically UNBROKEN... just trying to shed alittle light on what goes on behind the pipeline walls!! lol.. and alittle light is all im shedding... theres truck loads of CORRUPTION in this to factor in as well.


Additives to play a major role in the final grade and quality. So if the guy is picking up raw diesel... I dont want it in my tank.


BTW... Im glad the air intake is working great for you! It looks like a very nice quality piece. There is no doubt that more air intake surface filtration were a engine would normally be struggling will help. Thats just a proven physics standard.

 

[WhiteMamba_Scorpion]

Man... I had no idea an air intake refined rainbow colored diesel from thin air... I need one of these intakes on my truck

 

[DWhite]

I'm with the others. Mike you owe me a new set of tires. Each time I get on it all it does is bust the tires loose so now I have to level it and put the biggest tires on it I can so it won't spin as much. Should stamp a warning on the box. Haha.
