Kenmore, WA – Bothell Way Clean Fuel Point – Tuesday, May 5th
We ran into Brick today at our Kenmore, Washington pump on Bothell Way located at the very north end of Lake Washington. Brick has been fueling his Jeep Liberty CRD with Propel for 2 years.
The limited release Liberty “CRD” (2005 – 2006) stands for “Common Rail Diesel,” describing the 4-cylinder 2.8 liter turbo-diesel engine. CRD systems use high injection pressure to move fuel into the combustion chamber, resulting in higher fuel economy and cleaner burning diesel.
Brick also fuels his Chevy Duramax Diesel pickup with Propel, in both downtown Seattle and here in Kenmore.
Hey, that’s me! So sad that Chrysler is on the skids and they stop production of a the Liberty CRD.
Brick – Do you use B20 exclusively? Or have you used B99? I’ve have the ’06 CRD. I have been using both B99 and B20 for the last several months, but want to see what your experience was.
I have used it many times in the past when I could find it. It’s not at all PF stations so I grab the B20 most of the time.
B99 worked just fine for me, but stayed away from it during the winter.
Thanks Brick – Yes. It’s unfortunate it’s only at a couple stations. I’ve used several times, and only noticed a slight mileage decrease. Wanted to know if there were any long-term effects I needed to be aware of. Sounds like there aren’t as long as it’s used within reason (and avoided cold weather use).
Thanks again!
