Not all diesel is created equal; some fuel types are of a much higher quality than others. Diesel fuel quality has a significant impact on your equipment’s efficiency and reliability. As you look at fuel options, learn how to compare those options and why investing in high-quality fuel will pay off in the future.

What to Know about Diesel Fuel Quality

What Impacts Quality

Your fuel should not have any water in it since the water will separate and settle at the bottom of the tank. Once the tank is nearing empty, the engine will start sucking up water rather than diesel, which will result in engine failure. Water in your tank also promotes the growth of mold, fungus, and other bacteria that will clog your fuel filters. Extra sediment and other particles will block up filters as well, so you want to get fuel with the highest purity.

Why It’s Important

Quality fuel keeps your engine running smoothly and extends the life of its parts by keeping them clean. A truck with a clean engine will stay on the road longer and be less likely to break down. High-performing diesel also reduces your repair costs over the years by avoiding corrosion in the fuel tank, fuel lines, pumps, and injectors. It prevents deposit buildup and helps the fuel filter do its job by not clogging it up.
