Thanks Marty.  That is an interesting tidbit to know.  I assume that WM will continue to stock these replacement engines.

If you want to go greener, you might consider switching to biodiesel.

I run a WVO/kerosene mix in my diesels, not to be greener necessarily (well maybe my pocket). It is time consuming to filter and thin but drops my fuel price to about $1.50/gallon. It sure smells nice though, kinda makes you hungry. The down side is it does have a tendency to gel quicker in the cold, but heated fuel filter housings help offset the frigid temps.

With all due respect.  From what I can find and have been trained on, #1 is Kerosene, not diesel fuel.

I do agree with many of the points you made, however there is still a difference in the fuels. The differences between Kerosene, No.1, and No.2  are the hydrocarbon chains that are separated and concentrated during refining and the additives applied to each. K-1 Kerosene, No.1 diesel, and JP4 jet fuel  are closely related to each other.  No.1 and JP4 have higher allowable sulfur than K-1. No.1 is also a shorter hydrocarbon blend and has better solvent properties than No.2. Yes, No.2 does have a higher BTU rating and should produce more power and better mileage.

I was actually referring to European countries in my previous post, not countries like China. Thank you for clarifying
