The ULS diesel is supposed to contain a certain mandated lubrisity [sp] level so it will work in the older engines with out trouble. But we have been told things like that before by goverment and it has proven not true. In MN we have had 10% ethanol blend forced on us, it was supposed to be fine for older engines, NOT!! In the 8 years or so we've had it I have had to replace the accelrater pump diaphrams on my Holley carbs on my grain trucks yearlly. The float in my 78 Chevy pickup swells and sticks requiring yearlly replacement to. My chainsaws, even the new ones require carb kits and fuel lines semi annually. My four wheeler, snowmobile and other small engines all suffer from what I call jelley fuel line syndrome to. Fuel lines and carb parts turn to jelly like mush. I never had these problems before the 10% mandate. Now they want to increase it to 20%! I guess they expect every one to junk their older gas engines and buy new diesel trucks. Must be in cohots with the big three auto makers. Oil companys should love ethanol, as it takes more oil to produce a gallon of ethanol than to just burn the oil. If it was not for goverment mandated use and subsidies ethanol would not be competitive and would fade away.
