Deisel Supply

[Survivor_316]

Has this been discussed? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on what it means in terms of how to prep.

I think we are pretty good right now, assuming we can get our wood stove in this week as expected, but there is a lot of stuff that concerns me with this.

Everyone should be fine if you only use the red diesel for tractors and generators etc...

The shortages is in the additives for transportation vehicles.

Will it affect shipments much?

I just ordered my winter grade of off-road diesel this morning, 50/50 blend of stove oil and diesel. Also ordered propane.
The only shortage that I'm seeing is with delivery drivers. It's been snowing all day so I hope they're able to get up here soon.

It can and probably will.

I was told today by son 3 that one of our plants will be going full force producing diesel. When asked about Biden's EO's, was told this was in the works before. At this point I am only hoping.

Still been seeing articles about DEF shortages. I have my supply.

Thing about using off road diesel for me-I have to drive 50 miles to get it. It negates the cost savings for what I go through.

Worse comes to worse with the additives, we can all put pink smoke out for a while.

thank God my car does not need any additives, just normal diesel. DEF came out for trucks back in 2007-2008 and later for cars. Mine is a 2008 turbo, 2 liter, 4 cyl. Volvo motor with intercooler & 160 HP

I’ll stick with my ’83 300D.
Pretty soon the price of diesel will be more than cooking oil and I’ll just buy my fuel at the grocery store.

Well, fossils in fossil fuel isn't that bad idea. It's just recycling.
I'd love to drive my vehicles with recycled dino juice.

With heat and pressure, plant matter can be turned into liquid or gaseous fuel in a matter of minutes. It doesn't take millions of years.

Just as they make diamonds with enough heat and pressure.
Another theory says:
Although the stars and "other" universes are millions of light years "away"...that does not mean that they are billions of years old...they are simply that far away.
You live in America, I live in Europe. Just because I built my house 10 years ago--does not mean it would take you 10 years to get here and see it....just because you would need a month to get here on a ship over the ocean---does not mean that a dog house I build on the same day you get here is a month old since it did not exist before you left.

Consider the EV revolution, which I don't, because I thinks it's a cot death now. Or just consider the general impoverishment of the average person. Either option leads to a lot less gasoline usage, but no reduction in diesel consumption. Tractors, trucks, mining equipment, all these will need diesel at the same or increased rates. Now when a barrel of oil is refined you don't get to choose what comes out. 40% or so gasoline and 30% or so diesel. The gasoline will always be there and I see it falling in price as time goes on given the financial state of the world, supply and demand.

Here diesel was always appreciably cheaper than Gasoline (petrol we call it) Then it flipped 4 or so years ago and for a while it went a lot higher than petrol. Boy weren't the 4x4 boys squealing then. Now it's a little lower, just a little. The dynamics of price here are little different than other countries since we export a lot of crude and import nearly all our refined product. But the trend seems clear to me.
