This fall ( or earlier ) ULSD Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel will be what we will all be buying at the pumps. 07' will bring on the next tier for emmissions regs. and ALL highway diesels ( yes including our pick-ups ) will have DPF. Diesel Particulate Filters. So along with EGR and Cat. systems will come DPF and lower sulfer fuel ( read more expensive ) and more complex engine controllers. I have just found a new 06 D/A and am glad I got in under this next tier. If you are running a current or older diesel all you will need to do is change your fuel filters more frequently as the new fuel is supposed to ' clean your whole fuel system ' and I would think that would include the refinery tanks, tankers and retailer tanks and pump equipment. I have heard confliting reports on fuel additives to add lubricity to the ULSD. The big question will be how much these new 07 compliant diesels will cost over current model year prices, and how will it perform and will these changes effect fuel milage??? Could be a point for the gasser side.
