Number two is what's commonly run in diesels unless you get into really cold temperatures where the fuel might gel. Then you'll see some blends of number one and number two, and while I've never seen straight number one used, there are probably places where that might be necessary.

Gee I thought Home heating oil was off road fuel, as in #2 with red die in it. #2 fuel oil without the red die was the diesel we run in our trucks, and #1 was Kerosene. Then in the winter they mixed a little #1 with #2 to help prevent gelling? Now I'mhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif
