ok just a quick question.. is there a difference in off road and on road diesel besides the dye color. i know that there is those 2, mixed, ULSD #2, and veg (for those running a system) but im just wondering mostly is there a difference in on road and off. Does the off road have a higher cetaine number?. And whats diff. from the rest???

No matter what anybody says, the difference varies by state but like everybody says it is ALL ok for your truck.

According to the pumps around here (the two local ones in two towns) they sell LSD instead of ULSD lol. I'm not complaining though lol. 500ppm of sulfur compared to 15ppm (I must kill the earth now)... Also on the pump it says not for use in 2007.5+ emissions vehicles or something like that.
