red fuel?

[gotsoot]

I am looking for some "good" info about a `07 D/M that supposedly blew up because of using "RED Fuel".somethingto the effect that the inj. pump can sense the red fuel, something to do with a sensor that "LOOKS" thru the fuel. Any opinions would greatly be appreciated.

So if it senses red fuel it self distructs?? LOL sounds like mission impossible stuff.:rofl:

I know several guys on the board run red fuel on thier farms.

Must be more to the story.

TOTAL Bull S^&* i have plenty of customers running red fuel in there trucks for true offroad no road tax purposes to my knowlege the optical sensors left with the GREAT 6.5 power house

 

[Bako_Dmax]

Ive run red fuel thru my truck several times, never have had a problem..:angel:

 

[whitetrash21]

I know one LMM running it.... no problems to date that I know of.

 

[Huntinducks82]

I would run it but its a very big fine here in Maryland if you get caught and yes they have checked my tank before.

 

[ripmf666]

no sensor, I have ran it in my LBZ and I know of a few LMM that run it,And if I find the tsb GM can not turn down warranty from use of red fuel.

We still get LSD red fuel here for use in all the oilfield equipment.. Ive run it many times in the LBZ.. no issues.

Its simply dyed fuel. Maybe it was something else that caused a problem and it was a red fuel. Off road Red fuel will not cause any problems. Theres a TSB about it from GM that states theres no issues with it in the Duramax.


Oh and I have ran it a few times.

No such thing we have been runnin it for years in everything from our old IDI Fords the Powerchokes, Cummins and now the D-maxes.

Just don't get caught on the highway, and get dipped it sucks ass!! Ask me how I know

 

[hondarider552]

ive been running it for about 3-4 months. like mike said all it is is dyed #2, low sulfer diesel.

If it blows up with LSD red fuel you DEFINITELY know it wasnt the fuel that caused it!

There is no difference between the fuels. It's EXACTLY the same except for the color. I've ran a bunch of it in my LLY with no issues at all. I asked this same question at the fuel station I get mine from.

 

[02duramatic]

i've been using it for 8 months it seems fine
