I am not wrong when I said ''all intent and purposes''The EPA's own 1st quarter 09 report shows 97.7% of diesel fuel pumps in the USA are pumping ULSD. The main reason that the other 2.3% are not is because they figure they cannot get away with labeling the fuel as such. The vast majority of fuel travels by pipeline, operators found out early on that they did not have sufficient pipeline capacity to hardline the ULSD fuel. They would have to ''batch'' transport this fuel just like any other -- for example, ULSD fuel follows offroad fuel and any interphase is sold as Low sulphur even though it is usually 15ppm or less -- that is because the ULSD is typically 6ppm or less to start with, start with a cleaner product and the inevitable contamination will not do as much damage. The pipeline operator the company I work for is affiliated with started the transition in 2001 in conjunction with their refiner clients.-- all of the US refiners are way ahead of the curve on this. You can nitpick this any way you like but the fact remains that there is a very low probability of getting road fuel that is not ULSD, or at least left the refinery as ULSD at this stage.
