my 2000 c230k has the maintenance light on.has 70 000 miles how often the light turns on?

#1 and #2 fuels are both diesel fuels. #2 has several additives in it. #2 is what you burn in your pickup most of the time. You switch to #1 in cold weather because the wax in the #2 fuel will gel and plug up your filters. Basically the pickup will get choked for fuel and die. You then have to warm the thing up and replace the filter to get going again.

#1 fuel has far less "bang" to it. You notice a significant power loss when running #1 over #2 and your fuel mileage will decrease.

what car is your favorite hot wheels car and why?

The only difference between #2 and road diesel is in the additives. For example there may be a bit of methanol in heating oil to avoid frozen lines, whereas diesel may have some additives intended to keep engines running smooth. The oil itself is the same grade. #1 is basically kerosene/jet fuel.

Diesel is what rated in thos numbers. No 2 diesel is what they call gasoil and its very clean. Thats what you use in the pumps for cars. No 1 I havent heard of but dosnt mean it not exist. The next step down from no 2 is marine diesel and thats really dirty.
Fuel (Heavy) is rated by viscosity. Then there is IFO which is an intermediate heavy fuel, used for boilers in homes etc.
