Diesel Lowering In Price
Hello all:

I am not sure if this is a good place to put this thread, but since I own a 2007 6.7, I figured maybe some of my fellow 6.7 owners might be able to offer some input on this.

As we all know, diesel is coming down in price, and at my local Pilot service center, the price is down to $3.53 a gallon as of tonight for ULSD.

I gotta tell you, I have really been thinkin' hard about buying a 500 gallon tank and loading her up if ULSD hits at or below $2.00-$2.50 a gallon.

Gas is dropping a bunch, and diesel should follow suit for at least a little while. China suspended imports of diesel fuel for the last three months because they say they have all they need right now. This should help diesel drop a good bit in price.

Secondly everybody is screaming that world demand for all petroleum products has dropped a bunch, and shows now signs of picking up as the world enters into global economic stagnation.

Heard today that OPEC was moving up their emergency meeting to discuss lowering ouput. Meeting was scheduled for November 18th, but they moved it up to the 24th of October after oil crashed today at less than $70.00 a barrel.

The good news is, many oil economists think that the emergency meeting OPEC will have will actually cause oil prices to drop lower. They cite a lot of reasons, but mainly they think oil consumption will still continue to drop, and reducing output is not going to help that.

Anyhow, I am thinking of getting a 500 gallon tank and loading her up if the price goes right. How long do you guys think the fuel could stay fresh?

What type of bulk additive would you recommend for keeping the fuel fresher longer. I assume they make some sort of fuel freshener like "Sta-Bil" for diesel? Anybody know what that might be called?

Anybody know where I can get a decent 500 gallon tank and not pay an arm and a leg for it? I can get a 500 gallon tank for about $1300.00 new with pump and all, but I would like to see if I can find one used somewhere.

Thanks for any information you can provide.
