I read the other day that the new ultra low sulfur fuel clouds (when the waxes solidify) at a higher temp than the old fuel. And the new engines that require it usually run a finer fuel filter, so once it clouds it plugs the filter. And the old fuel, if you warmed it a few degrees would de-cloud, but with the uLSD, it might have to be warmed to as high as 50 degrees to melt the waxes again.
So with the new fuel, an older truck might have the fuel lines routed in such a way that it wasn't a problem before, but now allow the fuel to get to cold, which wasn't as much a problem with the old fuel.
