Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) will begin replacing conventional diesel fuel starting in 2006. The new fuel will contain 97% less sulfur than conventional diesel?sulfur will be reduced from 500 parts per million (ppm) to 15 ppm.
ULSD is cleaner-burning, producing less particulate emissions in both older and new engines.
Both Canada and the U.S. are expected to require diesel outlets to provide ULSD by the end of 2006.? The fuel is required for new high tech diesel engines used in automobiles in Europe, and will now be available in North America with 2007 models.
What will be the effect of ULSD on my 1998 Cummins C 8.3 mechanical diesel engine in my coach and other motorhomes produced before the introduction of ULSD in North America?? What about fuel lubricity?? Will I need additives in the motorhome?
Will truck stops be required to replace the older diesel with ULSD?? How will anyone know if they are getting high sulfur or low sulfur diesel?
