FYI for those that may be interested..

So I had mentioned the Southern States 'Super Gold' Diesel fuel product in the first post of this thread. I emailed them for more details, the response is below..

My understanding is that the Engine Manufacturers associations recommended a wear rating of 460 or below, but the US standard for Diesel fuel wear rating is 520 (and for Cetane is 40, though some states are higher).

So between the Cetane rating, and the Lubricity rating, it does, at least, seem to be a step above the 'standard' for diesel fuels in the US..

Southern States Rep reply below..


"Good Afternoon Scott,

In response to your inquire on our Supergold 50 diesel, the cetane rating is 50, and its lubricity rating based on ASTM D6079 testing is HFRR below 460mm.

I hope that this answers your spec questions. Thank you for your inquiry.

Best Regards,

Bob Conrad
