Next message: Bryan L Cedar: "T&T: Lehamn lift pump"
FWIW, I've seen cetane ratings on pumps in the northeast. Usually 42.
But go
to Montauk and there are some "premium diesel" signs...with the
rating on the
pump at 45. Is it true? Beats me.
My neighbor's Yanmars spew black smoke when
he fuels up at some places.
His additive stops the smoke. The Cummins I had
(6bta 270) never cared
what the fuel was like...either does my mighty 120
Lehman.

Maybe, I should check my new JD's manual and
see what it states. I've
never seen Diesel sold anywhere with a cetane
rating of 50 or better.
Most on road pumps are 40 with some at 45. Come to
think of it, I've
never seen a marina's fuel pump list the Cetane rating.
That's marinas
from Galveston Bay to the Chesapeake. I assume this is
probably because
it may vary with each filling of their tanks. Therefore,
just label the
pump something generic and meaningless like "Premium Diesel"
to keep the
lawyers from being involved.
