OK. I need you fella's in-the-know to explain and clarify something to me...
I was always under the impression that "RED DIESEL" was not Ultra-low-sulfur-diesel, but rather standard diesel w/sulfur in it which is why it is red. I had been led to believe that the red diesel fuel (w/sulfur) was more desired because of the lubricating properties of the sulfur content.
So, is this a completely incorrect understanding on my part?
