"the older pumps and injectors won't take the ULSD crap."
Can you provide ONE iota of verifiable proof of that?
There's a lot of older diesel tractors in use around here, I work on a lot of 'em, and visit a lot of farms, and I think you would be hard-pressed to find ANYONE adding lube to their diesel.
And I am NOT seeing IP and injector mass destruction.
