Scott, you do not want to put in a "sulpher addditive" since sulpher is bad for any diesel engine. The problem comes when the refinery removes the sulpher it also removes the lubricity of the diesel. You can use APS (Power Service) brand of DFA (diesel fuel additive) at the rate of 1 quart per 50 gallons of diesel. I use the one which says "Diesel Kleen Plus Cetane Boost" which comes by gallon or by quart. I treat all fuel in the container as I fill the container, at the rate of 1 part additive to 200 parts diesel (1 quart per 50 gal). This lubs the injection pump, cleans the injectors, removes moisture, raises the cetane, prevents gelling, and all sorts of other stuff I can't think of right now. I have been doing this to every drop of diesel burned in both my tractors for the last 8 years, year round. It costs me about $5 per 50 gallons of fuel, BUT I have not had a pump worked, an injector off, had to clean a tank, or any fuel problems whatsoever. You can buy the APS at Walley World, Tractor Supply, or about anywhere. Tom
