  • Complete Guide to Different Types of Diesel Fuel Grades

    Complete Guide to Different Types of Diesel Fuel Grades

    Diesel fuel is divided into three main grades: #1, #2, and #4. The difference lies in viscosity, volatility, and cetane number. #1 Diesel is thinner and ideal for cold climates, #2 is standard for most engines and warm weather, while #4 is used in heavy-duty, low-speed engines. Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline, achieving over…

  • What Is Recreational Fuel (REC-90) and How Is It Different from Regular Gasoline?

    What Is Recreational Fuel (REC-90) and How Is It Different from Regular Gasoline?

    Recreational fuel, or REC-90, is a high-octane, ethanol-free gasoline for small engines, boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and classic cars. Its ethanol-free formula prevents moisture damage, phase separation, and carburetor problems, making it ideal for engines that remain idle for long periods. Higher ethanol gasoline blends harm the environment, causing air pollution and reducing fuel efficiency. Many…
