Fuel Observations

Now that I have found a station that carries Low Sulfer Diesel (500PPM) I have run a tank or two of it. My observations are the following,

1. Increase in MPG of 1.9

2. Truck seems quieter

3. EGT's are running about 100 degrees cooler

4. Turbo cool down time is about 30% quicker.

GOing to fill with ULSD next time to see if my results go to where they were before. Just FYI in case you can find it in oyur area...
