Changes in Diesel Fuel?

Greetings All,

Been away for some time now and pleased to report I've been major problem free with my truck.

I'm seeing signs showing up at the fuel pump about a change in Diesel Fuel either coming soon or already here. It's my understanding that the new fuel formulation will not be good for my IP. I'm sure this has come up but I've missed it and I could use some opinions as what I should be doing about fuel in the future.

Thanks.

Re: Changes in Diesel Fuel?

The fuel is ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) which is less than 15 ppm sulfur. It has been in the pipelines and pumps for months.

Do a search on ULSD and you will have plenty of reading.
