Diesel and Filters

haybob

Any one else see the article in the journal about the changes in Diesel this week. I don't see it online yet but if anyone has seen it am I correct in thinking we will be changing fuel filter far more often now especially in the newer tractors.

Was reading bout it in profi Sept or Oct issue, interesting stuff.
Still tho, gives an excuse for another few cents to the already MASSIVELY INFLATED cost. Seems we'll have to improve storage facilities aswel to prevent water as this Bio-Diesel can actualy draw it in, which can cause microbes to grow that can break it down .
Wath is this new blend going to do to fuel pumps etc on older machines? Anybody with an intimate knowledge out there?
Was talking to a local farmer who was in the market recently, said he'd heard tractors are going up about 10-20% across the board due to 'extra reasearch costs' due to new stage4 engines....
