Maybe this'll change your mind.

You need to get out on IRV2 or RV.net
Forums and check out what the new,
Federally-mandated Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel
Fuel is doing to the rubber seals in
the fuel systems of the Diesel Engines.

The rubber o-rings are being eaten up,
and then the system looks like a diesel
water sprayer. It is a VERY expensive
problem for those DP Owners affected, as
they must dis-assemble things and re-seal
stuff.

No one on the Forums has yet to discuss what
happens at 70-MPH when the system begins
shooting Diesel Fuel all over inside the
engine bay..?...

There have been a fair number of threads on the Mercedes diesel forum of people
having
seal problems and leaks as a result of ULSD. I had some leaks in my fuel lines
that may
have been correlated with a tank of ULSD. Lots of pump seals going bad on newer
models.

I think California has required the low sulphur diesel fuel since
September and none of the California resident 'bird owners have
described any problems.

Dont believe that post. Steadie Eddie is a P30 GM chassis lover. He
took some in formation from another forum and enhnced it. Actually it
is alot more than enhancement. I read the posts on RV.Net. A few ( not
hundreds) Cummins owners have had problems with the lift pump leaking.
Apparently there is one gasket that the new fuel attacks. This is an
electric pump and is not serviceable. I imagine it is also not cheap.
The sky is not falliong yet!
