New low sulphur diesel warning!

[935racer]

I would like to add a quick note for everyone here, the new mandated low sulphur fuel can be harmful to your injection pump! Please use diesel fuel additive to every tank, or about an oz of two stroke oil, this will add some lubricity to the new diesel fuel, which is lacking due to the process in which the fuel is made. Also bio diesel blends are a great way to help counter this, just keep up on your fuel filter replacements as bio tends to have more water in the fuel than standard diesel.
Just a heads up for everyone.

Is this in Canada only or does this affect the US?

[935racer]

Canada and the USA. You should start seeing stickers on pumps stating wether it is low sulphur or not. I know up here in Canada we are supposed to be all low sulphur for october of this year.

yeah this *** is pure bs, they should make 2 different grades of diesel fuel, one for cars with injector pumps and one for cars with out.  theres gonna be alot of people sitting along the road with pumps that took a poop...

Down here in KC you see 2 stickers... LOW sulfur fuel (15ppm..actually its 500ppm...I had it wrong) and ULTRA LOW sulfur fuel (not for use in Pre '07 cars)

Im runnin Veg. F it

Yeah I know it might be obvious for some of us, but theres a lot of people who don't know and will be needing to get their pump rebuilt which is big $, I am just using a little bit of two stroke oil, it works great

so in other words, bad idea to goto chevron and get low sulphur diesel...fvuk, shoulda known!!  good thing this is the only time  :oops:

I'll be sure to burn some more SVO to teep the lubricity up.
I also look forward to seeing some more cool diesel cars on the road.

Any additives worth looking out for? How about cetane boosters?

hey guys, would one tank of this stuff hurt anything? i saw the sign but wasn't sure if it would do anything... what about off road diesel, harmful to pumps or not?
Thanks

This really makes me want to start making my own biodiesel...

Most of the cetane boosters also include lubricity boosters, which is what you really need if you're not running a biodiesel blend with the ULSD.   Actually, what I've noticed on the pumps recently is a warning saying that the fuel should NOT be used in cars newer than 2007.  I guess we haven't gotten the ULSD yet yere.  I almost never buy diesel anyway, but occasionally I can't make it to the biodiesel place at the right time...

I just saw that today when I filled up at a hess station today. I dont understand what that means. It said that it's unlawful and that it may cause engine damage? Can someone clarify this?

[jackbombay]

If you put low sulpher diesel in a car that requires Ultra low sulpher diesel it will wreck the emissions equipment, it can't wreck the engine itself.

I get a phone call everyday now for 1.9 AAZ pumps here at work, they are leaking on just about every car running around Ottawa now...
I had four decent cores that I tried out and all leaked with this new stuff, nasty. Hold onto your cores!
