Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[Doug Engel]

Al, thanks for the input, and I have heard similar info regarding Bio. We have
had winter problems with Bio up here, as well as teh "scrubbing" effect it has
on a fuel system (read possibility of plugged filters, not knocking the product,
just be perpared)) on the first couple tankfulls. Another possible issue with
Bio that directly applies to many of us is a higher tendency toward bacteria
growth in stored fuel. ( I have been told, I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong).
Nothing a good biocide can't address, just another item to be aware of. Doug

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.
