Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[Mike Hohnstein]

Some choose not to believe every thing that is proclaimed. Obviously most large
fleets use late model rolling stock, not relevant to most of the forums
participants.
I suggest that every one suit themselves.

In all of this thread I have not seen any reference to the lubricity standard
that went into effect on Jan 2005 nor mention of the plan to add lubricity
additives to the fuel in the terminals prior to distribution for sale.

The ULSD has been used since 2000 in some large fleets with no obvious
problems.

If all this is true, what is the problem? It seems to me that we have little
to worry about.

Ernie, It is my understanding that the main issue I/we have to be concerned
about is the loss of lubricity. I have had it described as a similar situation
that developed when we all went to unleaded gasoline. IMHO, the short answer is
yes, your engine was designed to run on "oilier" Diesel, so you should add
someting to bring the lubricity of the new fuel up to the levels you engine was
designed to run on. Doug
