Propel Diesel HPR? Never heard of it.

[Dm23]

I just got a $15 card to use there diesel fuel in the mail and I have never heard of this company. Is it worth putting into my truck? or is it the same at a normal gas pump?
The below is from there website:

Clean Diesel Power



– Increased power and torque
– Higher cetane than regular diesel
– Cleaner combustion and emissions

Diesel HPR meets the ASTM D975
diesel specification for use in diesel engines.



The Benefits of Diesel HPR

Fueling with Diesel HPR
Propel Diesel HPR is a premium fuel engineered to maximize performance of your clean diesel engine. Diesel HPR meets the ASTM D975 diesel specification (ULSD) for use in all diesel engines. Refined from recycled fats and oils, Diesel HPR outperforms both petroleum diesel and biodiesel in performance, emissions and value.

Performance
Performance formulated Diesel HPR has a cetane rating up to 75+, 40% higher than regular diesel, for smoother combustion and a better ride. Diesel HPR combusts more efficiently, which means more power and torque for your rig. And unlike biodiesel, Diesel HPR provides uncompromised cold weather performance. Diesel HPR is additized to provide excellent lubricity in all driving conditions and exceeds ULSD lubricity specification.
Renewable
Propel Diesel HPR is not biodiesel, however, it is manufactured from similar renewable biomass sources including recycled fats and oils. Refined from renewable biomass through advanced hydrotreating technology, Propel Diesel HPR meets the toughest specifications required by automotive and engine manufacturers. This allows Diesel HPR to be used by any diesel vehicle.
Air Quality and EnvironmentThe California Air Resources Board classifies Diesel HPR, also known as renewable diesel, as an ultra-low carbon fuel. The fuel can achieve a 40-80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel. In addition, Propel Diesel HPR:
- Reduces NOx emissions by up to 14% and particulates (PM 2.5) by 29% compared to petroleum diesel
- Is sulfur-free, aromatics-free and virtually odorless, in 100% renewable diesel form
Outperforming B20
Diesel HPR outperforms Biodiesel B20, delivering more power and lower emissions. Diesel HPR is made from 98% renewable content, while B20 biodiesel is 20% renewable and 80% petroleum. Unlike biodiesel, Diesel HPR provides uncompromised cold weather performance.

Interesting. There’s a 76 station around here in CA that has R95 diesel. Know nothing about it

I have one a few miles away from me. I've used it a few times. seems to run just as well as regular diesel. can't tell the difference

The propel or the R95?

I don't remember what they where calling it but it was that renewable stuff that was not your typical biodiesel. I want to say it was a yellow nozzle and labled HPR

I've got a station supplying this, in Simi valley, CA. Can't get any info from them about it. My truck definitely runs quieter and smoother. Also have noticed it doesn't foam up like regular Diesel filling up. It also doesn't have to much of a smell. As far as power and mileage, don't regularly fill up with it to make yeah or ney on it.

Propel is good. With a full tank you need more fuel to make the same power. I would mix 50/50 and it would get better mileage and less smoke, same power. That is with 250% injectors I doubt anyone would notice a difference with stock injectors. The R95 at 76 is basically the same results

I just noticed on my lunch break that the 76 station had renewable diesel. I am not sure if this is just a california thing or some new push to use a "cleaner" fuel?

I had to google it to see if any Canadian producers were on board. Co-op has two locations in British Columbia with it and plans are for expansion. ExxonMobil / Esso has plans for a plant in Edmonton Alberta that should be up and running by 2024.

I filled up with this a couple weeks ago in Lenwood. I didn’t notice much if any difference. I did notice it wasn’t any cheaper.

I usually go to Costco for fuel. Cheapest around me. If this new stuff isn’t cheaper then I’ll stick with Costco lol.

I want to say when the lady found it it was .50 cents cheaper than what the normal spots we go to for fuel. She called and asked if it could be used in her truck (19 L5P) and I said no cause I had no idea what it was.
