Some basic facts are: Sulphur DOES NOT lubricate anything. Sulphur in any amount is not good for engines or pumps. When sulphur is removed or lessened by refinig techniques, it makes the diesel better for your engine, however, it also REMOVES the natural lubricating properties or the fuel. Thus low sulphur fuel has lubricity because of the processes, not because of less sulphur. In any case, it is good ploicy to add something like Shell DFA (diesel fuel additive) which adds lubricating properties, prevents gelling, raises the cetane rating of the fuel, keeps tanks and lines clean, etc. etc. Another brand is APS (made in Weatherford Texas) which does the same thing. EVERY DROP of fuel that I burn has DFA in it, and (knock on wood) I have never had a pump failure on any tractor, never had moisture problems, never had gelling, never had rusting, never had blocked lines, etc. I would rather pay a little as I go for the DFA whether using high or low sulphur fuel, than pay the big bucks for pump overhauls.
