[TexasTDI]

The TDI is designed for 55 cetane.  If you're in TX or CA you're getting a
minimum of 48 cetane.  But the rest of the US only gets a minimum of 40
cetane.

You'll never see #1 Diesel at the fuel pump.  #1 is Kerosene and Jet fuel.
Winter fuel is 32 fuel with anti-gel additives in it.

I suggest Stanadyne Performance formula year round.  It has a cetane boost
and anti-gel additives.
