What Do You Think Of The New Ulsd Fuel So Far?

[Barry]

This should be another hot topic for the March forum poll...as always, feel free to discuss!

THE TROUBLE I HAVE HAD WITH ULSD IS THAT WHEN THEY TAKE ALMOST ALL THE SULFUR OUT OF THE FUEL IT TAKES MOST OF THE CEATAIN OR BTU RATING OUT OF IT . I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH O-RINGS YET , BUT I ALSO USE ALOT OF LUCAS IN THE FUEL . I HAVE NOTICED SINCE THEY STARTED PUSHING IT OFF ON US UP HERE ABOUT THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING THE POWER OUT OF IT AND THE MILAGE IS DOWN. MY SHELL FUEL DISTRIBUTOR EVEN TOLD ME THAT THE LACK OF SULFUR IS WHY. NOT ENOUGH BTU'S . HE SAID THAT THE OIL COMPANIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ADDING THINGS TO THE FUEL , BUT HE DOES'NT THINK THE ARE . JUST PASSING OFF THIS GARBAGE ON TO THE CONSUMER. IT'S NOT JUST AFFECTING MY OLD MECHANICAL E9 . MY BUDDY S WITH THERE ELECTRONIC CATERPILLER AND CUMMINS ENGINES ANRE NOTICING IT JUST LIKE I AM. I THINK ULSD IS THE WORST THING THEY COULD HAVE DONE TO US. TAKE ALL OF THE BTU RATING OUT SO WE GET LESS POWER OUT OF IT - LESS POWER - BURN MORE FUEL = MORE MONEY FOR FUEL AND LESS FOR ME.

MY SUPPLIER STILL GETS ME LSD, FOR NOW. BUT SOONER OR LATER I WILL HAVE TO GET ULSD . I'VE HEARD BAD THINGS ABOUT WHAT IT DOES TO PUMPS AND MILEAGE . I ALSO USE LUCAS ADDITIVES IN MY FUEL, WINTER AND SUMMER.

I blame this ULSD for all the fuel leaks that I have now. Injectors,delivery valves, lines etc... Im chasing all these issues about a month after the fuel came out But its good for the enviroment and that makes me feel like want to go hug trees
