what you are refering to is the new Ultra low sulfer diesel it has to look of water,as opossed to low sulfer diesel which has a more blueish tint to it.you cant use the low sulfer in 07 engines.but the ultra low can be used in any diesel,But you should use a fuel additive because it has a lower lubricant in it.

If it's anything like here in Canada, diesel fuel is now required to be sulfur free... I have noticed that the color has changed a bit with the new fuel... If you were here I would say that it's because it's winter, we switch to a lighter grade diesel for winter so that it won't freeze up... the color is lighter, it foams more and you do not get near the power or milage as you do with summer(heavy) diesel. I don't know that this would be a concern in Texas though.

They may have put gas in it. Drain it all out and put in diesel. Get the off road stuff with the red dye and then you will be able to tell better next time. Also get a locking cap so that only you can get into the tank.

I think you maybe right. The Muffler should not be that hot. Don`t chace futher damage, drain the tank and start over. Diesel cools and lubes the engine and Gas will destroy a diesel engine quick.

I never really noticed when filling up, but ULSD is everywhere now. It's only 15/ppm sulfer. I fill up at Flying J truckstop in Spring. I'll pay more attention next time.

Dunno, never saw diesel fuel. I'd trust chevron, they're on the list of top tier fuel providers, a list not many name brand gas stations are on (to be on the list you need to sell the best quality gas), which means they've got some of the best stuff around.
