So this will be my 1st CTD and 1st diesel when getting gas I have to makes sure the fuel is usld?
Is it clearly marked everywhere? Also any hints for fueling up heading into the winter here in NY doesn't get really cold bt maybe mid teens at night...

 

Most pumps will already be ULSD comliant, meaning most places don't even carry LSD anymore. THe pump should have a sticker right on it that says it either ULSD or LSD. As for winter stuff, I would recommenda good winter additive to keep it from gelling. That is the worse problem to occur. Most people on here use Power Service Diesel additive winter formula. It can be found at Wal mart. Congrats and we needs pics asap!!!

 

Tommygunz is right about the fuel pumps; there isn't much LSD around anymore. I read somewhere that the designations 'LSD' and 'ULSD' have maximum values for sulfur, but no minimum values. So, a pump labeled 'LSD' is likely to have a sulfur content closer to 15 PPM than 500 PPM, because most of the diesel fuel coming out of refineries is now ULSD. Also, an occasional fill with LSD is unlikely to cause you any trouble but nonetheless you should try to put only ULSD in yours. B5 (5%) biodiesel is also okay; stay away from higher concentrations of biodiesel until Cummins gives the green light.

When it comes to winter fuel, Dodge recommends using no fuel additives. During the winter months the diesel fuel in your area will probably be blended with some #1 Diesel, which is a lighter distillate and helps with winter starting. It also has slightly less energy when burned, so your MPG will suffer a little. If you really want to use a fuel additive, stick to the oneswith alabel that indicates compatibility with 2007 emissions. I believe the Power Service products are compatible. Marvel Mystery Oil is not, among others.

Enjoy your new Ram and don't be a stranger. By all means post some pics!

 

Back in 85 I drove an 85 model Ford with a diesel. While in upper Maryland on a goose hunt my fuel jelled one time. After I got it started I ran down to the fuel station and pumped about 5 or 6 gallons of kerosene in it. Worked OK. I don't know the dangers of that now.

 

Inthe manual for my 2007 it says that mixing kerosene with the fuel is okay, as long as it's ultra low sufur kerosene. I don't knowif most kerosene is ultra low or not.

 

It doesn't hurt to add some anti gel to your fuel just to be safe as some times they don't mix in the correct amount of #1 and then your screwed. Also carry at least one bottle of Power Service 911 under the seat just incase you or some one you know needs to degel their fuel. I've had my bottle under the seat for over a year now but you never know when it may be needed.

I as well carry Diesel 911 in the truck
