Question for all you fuel grues. What is the difference between truck diesel and diesel? Seen it at servos a lot and is a couple of cents cheaper. But what is the difference. Cheers Errol PS Thanks for any replys.

At
home I tend to fill up with
Caltex Vortex Diesel. On a trip thru NT & SA earlier this year, you take what you can get. I reckon I was getting up to 100km less out of a tank of fuel, and no I was not taking advantage of the 130km/hr available.
*A grue is a term for a fictional predatory monster that dwells in the dark. The word was first used as a fictional predator in Jack Vance's Dying Earth[1] universe
*Guru (Sanskrit: ????. IAST: guru) is a Sanskrit term that connotes someone who is a "teacher, guide, expert, or master" of certain knowledge or field

no difference whatsoever some brands might add a few additives to their "own brand" anti fouling or foaming (as examples)
but usually the price per litre will be tad lower 2cpl due to qty most rigs will carry for a run, 1500-2000 being commonplace.
I have filled up plenty of times at Hi-flow pumps no issues at all apart from one muppet at a r/house along Gt north hwy in upper swan advising me i wasn't allowed to fill up as i wasn't a truck - tried to explain i had a 20 footer behind me and filling upto 170l on a std pump flow rate would take 20 mins or more to no effect
