Think of Sulfer as tiny sponges and it softens the gear lashing/metal-metal so in a sense it is a lubricant. Were I work we used ULSD for a 11/2 before it was mandated and have seen few problems with it and that is without adding Lubricity additives.

 

this is what the pump in my town says. sorry for not getting the picture straight

 

does the bottom of it say it may damage these vehicles and engines?

 

Yeah it says It may damage these vehicles and engines.

 

ouch, thats not something you really want to be reading as your filling up.

Thank you for your purchase. By the way what your putting into your tank is not only costing you a fortune, it could possibly break your 40 thousand dollar truck. Thank you , come again.

Have you thanked your local tree hugger today?

 

Communist policies down here get implimented in a slow creeping kind of manner.

 

It could and probably will cause damage to the newer engines with the DPF... I have a 2007 with the 5.9l, so no harm for trucks like mine.... There are a few stations around me that still have the same sign, I would venture to guess that most if not all are actually pumping ULSD, just haven't changed the sign yet... it is being mandated and I know they have to pump so many gallons through of the new ULSD before they can take the sign down

 

FYI, LSD can and will be sold for on hiway use until the middle of 2010. Only 80% of all diesel made has to be ULSD so if the pump claims to be LSD it very well could be LSD.

 

i use ieSpell, it's free

 

That is very true.... I figured most of the LSD pumps are at the Truck stops... usually on the big truck side.. and the pumps at the normal stations were mostly ULSD - but, if you have a 6.7l and see the LSD sign, I would definitely be careful.

 

LSD will - at the minimum - cause more regens on the new 6.7 with the diesel particulate filter. At worst, it will clog it. LSD is fine in the 5.9. The great debate about ULSD and lubricity issues boils down to the fuel pump from everything I've read, where the ULSD doesn't provide enough lubricity and prematurely wears the pump.

Optilube scores highly in the lubricity space. Power Service...Notsomuch. Interestingly, TCW3 2 cycle engine oil scores well for adding lubricity. 200:1 ratio for my 2006 CR.

 

Cedar Park Tx has and Exxon and a Shell selling LSD.

does walmart sell Optilube? If not and i can get PS there I'll probly just get the PS and call it good. I'm sure it adds more then enough for the mototr to be safe.

 

Being the state of CA had ULSD in early 2006 I don't think 2006 engines are in need of extra lube like the older engines do. If you can buy it use 2-5% Bio as its gives better lube for the fuel system then any fuel additive on the market.

JMHO

 

i havent seen any bio around here.
