Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[Mike Hohnstein]

2 qts. ATF per 100 gallons of fuel. Marvel mystery oil, Hydrotex essential lube
and additives for cold weather @ the truck stops are available. If that don't
work, drive a gasser until it warms up. I guess there is a price to pay for all
that clean air that is sure to come. Yep. Fer sure.

Howdy again, Thanks for the help with my locked safe issue. Now I know
you just stand back and throw 450.00 at it and it will open.
Now on to my next question/topic. I own and operate a gas
station/tire store in Gunnison Colorado and have been talking to
various fuel suppliers and addative distributors about ultra low
sulphur diesel and winterizing this fuel. Most are saying that due to
the differences in the chemical makeup, getting this fuel to reach a
CFPP lower than -25 to -30F is going to be a problem (at lesat in
Gunnison it will be). Availibility of #1 diesel to thin it is supposed
to be a problem this winter as well, not to mention that this approach
apparently no longer has the same favorable effect that it used to.
So today while talking to a new rep, he mentioned the low lubricity
of the ULSD and the problems older diesel engines, Cats were noted,
have running this stuff. He noted injector pump failure specifically.
Anyone have any input or experience they can share? Thanks gang, Doug
