Isn't #1 diesel fuel the same as jet A fuel and or kerosene ? Or is that #2 diesel fuel?
I saw a distinct drop in fuel mileage when they changed from the old diesel mix to the current low sulfur mix around 2 MPH on the road and in town downwhiney


Don't know. I am relatively sure that #2 is similar to home heating oil. When I worked in a gas station years ago we didn't have diesel but we had what Enco called "#2 burner" which we delivered for home oil furnaces.
