Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[Tom Warner]

Rob good idea of putting the ATF in your diesel fuel. But be sure to
set aside some money for maintenance right after. You might want to
go to the Chevron or other fuel producers site and read what you can
and cant do. ATF just plays havoc with some seals.

PS: To save everyone some stress you might want to check the diesel
stops and find out that they still all sell regular diesel
fuel. http://www.flyingj.com/highway/locations/us-map.html
For instance in Georgia: only one station today has ULSD but they
all have low sulphur diesel which you have been burning for a long
time. In Florida as of today no Flying J stations have ULSD but all
of them have low sulphur. Everyone does not expect a government
mandate to go perfectly do you.Low sulphur diesel will be
available for quite some time for older diesels.
