This subject has been discussed several times on here so you might want to do a search and look at some of the past answers too. That said according to the atricles I"ve read in the various trade magazines between the government and major suppliers they all say there have been no issues with the ULSD hitting the market. There is supposidly some new additive put in at the refinery to take the place of the sulfur to bring the lubricity back to "normal", but wether it"s happening, or not, it doesn"t seem to be working. For those of us out there everyday the no problems story just doesn"t fly. Between sticking parts, leaking seals, all because of the changes in the fuel, as well as clogged filters caused not by the sulfur reduction, just sorry a$$ fuel handling before you get it, the real story is something totally different. As for running an additive it"s a good idea wether it"s an old machine or a new one. The new machines with the common rail systems are running higher fuel pressures than ever before so they need all the help they can get just as much as the older systems do. Another plus to the additive is a decreese in fuel usage. I"ve been running Stanadyne additive in my service truck since the first of the year. Last fuel tax statement I did I was averaging a touch over 9 MPG on the additive where the best I ever got before was a touch over 8 when I did alot of highway driving in one quarter. My usual average is around 7, and this past quarter has been a usual mix of highway and city, so I"m looking at in the neighborhood of 2 MPG increase from a $6 bottle of additive. For the company that works out to somewhere around $180 extra in profits off of every fillup. Not a bad return in my opinion. The Stanadyne is the only kind I"ve tried so far and can speak about, but when we run out this time I"m gonna give Lubrication Engineers" stuff a try. Everything else we use from them is top of the line and their additive is actually cheaper than the Standyne so if it"s as good or better that"s just more free money off every fillup.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
