ULSD in older engines-emissions - Scott Forman - 01-29-2008 11:34 I know that ULSD results in greatly reduced emissions from the engines designed to run on it, but is it any cleaner in our old engines? Just curious. Scott Forman 86 PT38 Memphis ULSD in older engines-emissions - Don Bradner - 01-29-2008 11:56 I'm sure it is possible to debate what-all makes up "cleaner," but the basic equation is simple: Less sulphur in equals less sulphur out. So for that particular byproduct, all engines are outputting far less of it than they were, when run on ULSD.

There are some issues with fuel system hoses and seals on older vehicles (pre-90, probably), so you may need to watch for fuel leaks and plan to upgrade/replace the flexible fuel lines.

Pipes and muffler may last a little longer. Wave, GPSGary |
