Yesterday a guy was talking about a new diesel formulation coming out shortly. Said it was not going to be able to work in certain engines. Is there anything to this or just a bad rumor? You can hear anything around our place except bacon frying and change jingling! :lol:

ULSD Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
I'm assured it works in most anything. Check the manufacturers of specific engines for the last word.
 
I have yet to find the new stuff at any pump around here, It would make me afraid to buy an '07!

Pump says:

Federal Law prohibits use of this fuel in 2007 model vehicles, using this fuel may cause engine damage and/or failure, may lose warranty coverage if this fuel is used!
 
OH BOY !! sulfur is what lubricates injectors and such in a diesel...also upper piston rings etc. ....i have used an add in upper lube since the last S*$% change happened....now what? :mad: not too sure how they plan to deliver the new formula though...two different pumps or what? (old stuff....new stuff....)
 
Speaking of Diesel, can anyone explain why it hasn't come down with gas prices? Around here gas is down to 2.20 and Diesel is still around 2.60

Canada has had low-sulfur diesel for a number of years. I don't believe its as low as the new US low-sulfur rules call for, however the majority of our gas/oil companies have added a lubricant to their product to offset the reduced sulfur. I have my suspicions that when the current stocks of standard diesel have been exhausted within the US, the oil companies will switch to delivering low-sulphur, but with an additive package that will make it safe to run in pre-2006 diesel engines. I would be a little careful in where you fill for the next little while, as the diesel fuel quality (and their lubricants) within Canada varies a great deal.
