    So what's the consensus on Loves fuel? I've heard from many people that they add biodiesel but if the fuel haulers are all getting the fuel from the same place do they then add it at the station? With as busy as every loves is I have ever been to,I just can't believe that loves has that bad of fuel or else everybodywould be having issues with their fuel system

    Most all any fuel comes up a single pipline, then branches out to the loading facility, be it a major, or to the "community" rack where the additives are injected at the point of loading.

    We would all shudder sometimes if we knew what the last product was in a tanker before delivering to our station. I alway tried to have a compatible "rinse" before any cross-contamination. Ie; gas after trans-mix (junk) before diesel or avgas/jet-A.

    You've been all over other forums spreading this same post. I'm guessing your the spokesman to boost sales?

    is that why loves fuel looks visibly more thicker/viscous/oily than PFJ fuel? I 99.997% use PFJ, diesel is usually brownish/tan and flows thin. loves is always yellow/green and thick thick thick. i thought for diesel thick would mean better but maybe not

    In some states bio diesel amount is determined by state law and the time of year. Bio diesel is added during the load out process at the rack.
