You hit the nail on the head. The 08 engines must use fuel with a sulphur content less than 15 ppm, or it will plug the emissions equipment.
The dye has nothing to do with it. Now where I'm at, my supplier simply drops the dye in a tank of ULSD.... so it's not going to hurt the new engines one little bit. Although, Alan, I'll tell you this.... I already got the badge of honor from the tax department for doing exactly what you "might" theroetically do. I made the mistake of leaving less than 50 L in the saddle tank of a truck sitting in the yard, and the dipstick came in and dipped the tank when nobody was around.
We had the fortune of having a summons delivered, we had to appear in court, and either plead not guilty and take a trial date for about this time of year or pay a 300 dollar fine.
The monetary fine wasn't that big, but the 2 month suspension of our fuel permit wasn't so nice. We got around it in the winter by having the tanks full.... even though we wern't supposed to use that fuel. However, if we'd gone to court in July, we'd still have lost the battle, and then we wouldn't be able to buy fuel for 2 months of the busiest season. I'd think it would pay you to keep a can of clear around if you're worried about running out.... and then you don't have to wonder if your supplier is using ULSD for farm fuel. Rod
