There IS some sort of sensor in the Duramax for the untaxed fuel, but I know little about how it works. Dye or sulfur sensor maybe? The guy I mentioned has three diesel trucks and several tractors on his farm, all using the same fuel with no problems. Two of them are older - 1991 and 1992 Dodge Cummins, and the other a new Chevy with the Isuzu "Duramax." He was low on fuel one morning, and put some of his "farm fuel" into it. It went into a "limp mode" and would not go faster than 25 MPH. He drove to the Chevy dealer to complain about his $40,000 truck, and was informed it had a sensor to detect off-road fuel use. They flushed the tank, and it then ran fine. He was also told that such use voids the warranty.
Again, I don't know how it works. I did read recently that the new Volkswagen diesels can not be run on fuel with sulfur in it.
