McLeod County Minnesota | These paragraphs cover the major problems that many farms face. Unfortunately, there are no specific suggestions regarding the course of action we should take.
“Like Low Sulfur Diesel fuel, ULSD fuel requires good lubricity and corrosion inhibitors to prevent unacceptable engine wear. As necessary, additives to increase lubricity and to inhibit corrosion will be added to ULSD fuel prior to its retail sale. With these additives, ULSD fuel is expected to perform as well as Low Sulfur Diesel fuel.
“Only ultra low sulfur kerosene (No. 1 diesel with no more than 15 ppm sulfur) may be blended with ULSD fuel to improve cold weather performance. With so many kerosene formulations on the market, care must be taken to select kerosene with a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur. Blend rates will remain the same as with Low Sulfur Diesel fuel.”
This part really grabs me, “…additives to increase lubricity and to inhibit corrosion will be added to ULSD fuel prior to its retail sale.” It brings up questions like who will add the necessary stuff to prevent premature wear and when will it occur?
