Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel affects lubrication

[Al]

On another forum that I participate in someone found the following
article summarizing the wear that Ultra-Low Diesel has on diesel
engines.

"A lower wear score indicates better lubricity. Biodiesel has been
tested at varying concentrations with No. 1 and No. 2 diesel fuels. The
results indicate that a 1 percent blend of biodiesel with No. 2 diesels
is sufficient to reduce the HFRR micron score below the required 460
micron standard. However, a 2 percent biodiesel blend is required in
No. 1 diesel to get the HFRR micron score down to 460 microns."
