Hello all,

I think I know the answer to this but wanted to get people's opinion.
 Is there really any difference between road diesel and marine diesel.
  I suspect the only difference is in the additives.   According to
Wikiapedia all diesel will be required to be ULSD by 2012 so in that
respect it should be the same.   I often can get road diesel cheaper
than I can get it at a fuel dock at one of the marines locally.   My
marina doesn't have fuel.  So either way I have to bring it in with me
or take the boat somewhere.
Either way I always put in a shot of bio-cide and stabil to keep the
fuel as fresh as I can.

Thanks,
Jason
