According to Trucking News, Peake fuel solutions has a product that will allow the ISX15 Cummins Engine to run a mixed fuel cocktail of Liquid Natural Gas or Compressed Natural Gas with diesel while still allowing a truck to go back to 100% diesel. The system does require a conversion kit but the potential savings and flexibility far outweigh the cost. With a fuel price future that is very very uncertain this can protect you from getting overwhelmed by high diesel prices

Diesel On The Rise...

Is it a sign of things to come? or is diesel risingbecause of the need to add pressure on voters as we approach an election. I dont know, but nothing will make a voter discontent than watching more of their disposable income flow into their tank penny by penny,even if it is just affecting truckers at this poing with the recent rise

According to Transport Topics, diesel is at a four year high which is quite remarkable since their are

less trucks on the road
less drivers on the road
less consumption
lower consumer expenditures
Mild hurricane season (affects Gulf of Mexico shipping)
And lots more......

All things that should cause a price drop or at least balance out any price increases but that is not the case. So we will to wait unitl late November to see if the price corrects.
