ULSD Availability

[WK57ABF]

I apologise in advance for asking the following questions if they have been answered 100 times before.

My truck - build date March 07, Job 1 - Venturi 'T' done but nothing else other than oil/filter changes. No reflashes and no issues.

I am taking a trip to a remote part of my country in the Spring and will use 5-6 tankfulls of regular diesel. I might find low sulphur diesel 500 ppm but it is unlikely I'll find ULSD. Is there anything that is going to get clogged up - I'm thinking of EGR, DPF, etc.

Would appreciate some EGR information :

What does it look like

Where is it

Can I free it if it gets stuck

Is cleaning it out a driveway job.

Also, some posts refer to a CAC being replaced. What is a CAC?

Many thanks.

This is an awesome truck.

Not too sure how it works down there, but it is illegal to sell LSD here in Canada, I would imagine it is the same down there. Mostly the premium pumps here are labelled ULSD, but if you ask you will find the "regular" diesel is ULSD as well.

From http://www.intellidog.com/dieselmann/64bulletin.htm:

6.4 EGR valve and particulate filter (DPF) failures due to high sulfur fuel:
The 6.4 PowerStroke is designed to run on ultral low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel, which has no more than 15 PPM sulfur content. Using high sulfur fuel (greater than 500 PPM sulfur) can cause corrosive damage to the EGR valve and DPF. Use of high sulfur diesel can cause emission system component malfunction and cause the check engine light to come on. Broadcast Message 0346.
