Truck Diesel & Diesel

I don't believe there is any difference ...... usually the truck pumps are high flow, that you have to be real carefull when you are filling.

Some service stations will not allow passenger cars to fill at high flow.

cheers

Premium diesel has anti foaming agents and fuel system component cleaner in it plus it has less diesel smell.

Only differences is the price and Hi-Flow nozzles. Exactly same fuel for that supplyer. Some companies have anti foaming (whatever that does) over all their fuel bowsers. Don't add the something Blue which is an emission control fluid not a fuel additive. Goes in separate tank.
I mostly use the tuck outlets and save the 2 cents.

NRMA reckon it depends which motor you have

At home I tend to fill up with Caltex Vortex Diesel. On a trip thru NT & SA earlier this year, you take what you can get. I reckon I was getting up to 100km less out of a tank of fuel, and no I was not taking advantage of the 130km/hr available.

In regard to Sulphur content and Diesel fuel standards, the Governement reference contained tables which showed the reduction in Sulphur levels in recent years. It is now 10 parts per million, down from 500 ppm in 2002.

no difference whatsoever some brands might add a few additives to their "own brand" anti fouling or foaming (as examples)

but usually the price per litre will be tad lower 2cpl due to qty most rigs will carry for a run, 1500-2000 being commonplace.

I have filled up plenty of times at Hi-flow pumps no issues at all apart from one muppet at a r/house along Gt north hwy in upper swan advising me i wasn't allowed to fill up as i wasn't a truck - tried to explain i had a 20 footer behind me and filling upto 170l on a std pump flow rate would take 20 mins or more to no effect

Here is a proper test of fuel by Lindsay Transport or the old Lindsay Brothers.

Now they probably spend in excess of $300,000 on fuel a month and conducted a proper test of the BP ultimate diesel. Caltex are installing Vortex hi nozzles at their truck stops as well.

So have a good read. Lindsay Transport test
