Dear Sailors:
I have a newly acquired 1989, 2GM20F 18hp diesel engine. I do not know what the previous owner used for fuel or whether or not he used any additives.
I have been told that there are some service stations that sell grades of diesel that more closely approximates the fuels sold back in the day.
I would like to use the best possible fuel for this older engine.
The boat has a small water separator filter and fuel filter that came with it; I installed a fuel polishing system myself. I would like to avoid the additives if possible. If additives are necessary, I’d like to know the best to use.
Please advise me on these matter.
Thank you,
Steve
