> I "think" that everything is low-sulphur now and they give the option to "add oil" for the hand wringers that think the fuel is damaging their injector pumps.
Yeah, this is exactly right. The hand wringers are also right.
Your fuel supplier has ULSD fuel. This is the type of fuel that is mandated for all highway use. By 2015, absolutely ALL fuel will be ULSD. They are still selling non-ULSD for farm, marine, and railroad use, but it is being phased out. In 2010 all ag fuel will be ULSD, 2014 all marine fuel, and finally in 2015 all locomotive fuel.
Ultra-low sulfur means that if your fuel system was designed before 2000, you need an additive to prevent your O-rings and other components from drying out and cracking. Although, I imagine older systems could be retrofitted instead. It makes me wonder if the really old systems that used copper compression washers instead of O-rings (like my 4010) are even effected. I suppose the rubber diaphragm in the injector pump is still vulnerable.
The 4-cents per gallon is to add the sulfer-based lubricant back into the fuel. That's probably a heckofalot cheaper than buying your own SlickDiesel-type additive and treating it yourself.
