Howdy,
Has anyone else had any bad experiance with Esso Diesel Fuel?
I had put about 10 gallons of it in my 05' Dodge with a Cummins yestarday B4 I realized it wasnt regular #2 fuel. I went ahead and finished filling up with about 28 gallons. I then pulled a 27 foot Camp Trailer from Soccoro NM west on Hwy 60 to Show Low Az. This stretch for road has some pretty good Hills. My towing fuel mileage dropped from a about 12.5 to 9 mpg's. The exhaust smell was awfull, kinda like a LP gas rotten egg stink. I was leading another truck, who had to move to the front to get away from the smell. It did seem to run OK, maybe just a little noisey. After re-fueling the truck went right back to 12 or 13 mpg's in even more hilly country. I wont be using it any more.
BTW, the truck averaged 21 mpg's over the same road when not towing. It only had about 1800 miles on it when I put this sh!t in...
