Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???
My understanding is that diesel engines use sulfur content to aid in
cooling and lubrication. When you reduce the content, your engine is going to not receive the same lubrication and thus will wear faster and run hotter since you are creating more friction. To what degree, I could not tell you. But I do have a solution. Vehicle mfg have endorsed Biodiesel upto 5% in many of the diesel engines on the market. Several have gone beyond that endorsement so I will just stand on the 5%. If you add, 1% Biodiesel it will replace all of the lubrication lost plus is good for the enviroment and is a renewable resource. I am not a tree hugger but am glad that I am doing something to reduce my emmissions and dependancy on foriegn oil. I currently run 100 % ( B100 ) in all of my vehicles with no problems. Not looking to get into debate about Biodiesel. Just want to make sure the group has some other options.
