FYI this came from our fleet leasing company:

EPA rules will take effect June 1, requiring fleets with in-house central refueling facilities to label their diesel pumps as either ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) or low-sulfur diesel (LSD). The labeling rules are part of EPA's ULSD rule that requires 80% of all diesel fuel refined after June 1 and sold after October 15 to have no more than 15 ppm sulfur. The ULSD is needed for lower-emission 2007 model truck engines to run properly. EPA developed the labeling requirements so that end users can distinguish between the two brands of fuel. Stiff penalties apply if a ULSD label is affixed to a pump dispensing fuel with more than 15 ppm sulfur.

The EPA labeling rules apply to retail establishments and to "wholesale purchaser-consumers", who are defined as "any person that is an ultimate consumer of....diesel fuel....and which purchases or obtains....diesel fuel.....from a supplier for use in motor vehicles....and......receives delivery of that product into a storage tank of at least 550-gallon capacity substantially under the control of that person."
