All diesel produced these days is low sulphur and in 2007 it all has to be Ultra-low sulphur for emission requirements.

At the pipeline where I load at we still do have high sulpher diesel which the sulpher content has been reduced from years past. We also load low sulpher & put in a different blend code to get the dye injected as we are loading. # 1 diesel & Kerosene is the same product also known as stove oil.
