    I couldn't agree more. lol
    It's the first time anybody had told me the compressor was turning off because the fan wasn't working. Making me think everybody else bypassed the simple and went right to the normal...
    If that makes sense...

    Buy the cheapest fuel you can, PERIOD. Doesn't matter if it's a national chain or Pedro's illegal liquid wholesale.

    Diesel is diesel. It's the same in any given area. They all must conform to local/state requirements as far as additives.
    The only difference may be bio diesel vs pure diesel. But they have the same detergents.

    Just don't buy red dyed diesel for the truck even though it's way cheaper.

    It makes perfect sense. The refrigerant in the under bunk part is in a liquid state, air blowing over the coils heats it up turning it to a gas. No airflow across the coils no change of state.

    Biodiesel will sap your economy though. If you're use to running low bio numbers like b5, and you get a tank of "intended blend b20", you can lose almost 1mpg. Rule of thumb is .2 mpg per 5 points of bio. And seeing as the Petro in west Memphis has a big tank of b100 they self blend their diesel so a betting man would say I bet they ain't exactly b20...
