Supplier delivered gas here last week. The owner came, so we had a nice visit. Some dealers hire transport loads delivered to their tanks, but he picks up his own at the pipeline terminal. A card gets him access to load 24/7. All additives are injected as he loads. This includes alcohol in the gas, and dye, and/or additive in the fuel. He can buy untreated fuel, as fuel oil, but says the treated fuel burns enough cleaner in furnaces, that he only buys treated fuel.
I suppose an unscrupulous dealer could then get "fuel oil" and sell it as diesel fuel.
Many stations now advertise alcohol free gas. We didn't discuss that this time. But last I knew, he had no way to buy it. Apparently some other terminals offer it.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
