Diesel fuel types
Hi All,
And happy Holidays!! I have a question about different types of diesel fuels. I have a 1956 FMD with of course a 4 cylinder diesel. I've been using #2 heating oil for fuel. I noticed it has been smoking a lot and it seems to have lost some power. It appeared to be running rough. I put in 5 gallons of kero in the engine and after some time it ran great with no smoke. I went back to fuel oil again and it started to smoke again and run rough. I was going to get off road diesel and someone told me it was the same fuel as heating oil and I have to put kero anyway for winter. What do you guys think. Thanks and Happy Holidays, Mike P.S. I'm in NJ and don't use the FMD in the winter unless I have to move snow.
