In Reply to: Low Sulfur diesel in my truck posted by Jeff Oliver on January 16, 2008 at 14:25:55:

What fuel each individual engine manufacturers engine was designed to run (low sulfur or the current ultra low sulfur) is gonna vary depending on the mfg and the engine. The only thing I can tell you for certain is that any on highway engine mfg for the 2007 year model was required to be compatable, meaning designed to run on, ultra low sulfur fuel. As far as running an additive, the guys at the fuel shop dad and I have dealt with now since back in the 70"s say run a qualty additive in everything regardless, it can only help. They said wether the engine/fuel system was designed to run ULSD or not they were still seeing problems with pump seals leaking, sticking metering valves, etc due to the loss of the extra sulfur and resulting loss of it"s lubricating qualities. According to industry magazines this isn"t supposed to be an issue, other lubricating additives are used to replace the sulfur, but according to my guys what they see doesn"t match with what we"re all being told by "the industry". Personally I started running an additive in my service truck, on their advice first of "07. Since starting on the additive (I have to figure miles and gallons used, etc every quarter for IFTA) have actually picked up several MPG. So far I"ve used Stanadynes additive as well as another from Lubrication Engineers and have had no problems with either. The cost of both is about $6 a bottle. In my case the added MPG results in about $80, per fillup, in additional travel miles I can charge. In other words the additive pays for itself and then some, especially when your in a buiness where mileage is charged out to a particular job/customer. So, in short, find a qality additive and run with it. You"ve got nothing to lose and alot to gain.

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]
