Correct me if I am wrong. But as I understand things our old diesels
require the higher sulfer content to keep the pump and injector
mechanisims operating correctly. If this is true, does this mean we will
be required to keep dosing them no matter what. Kind of like the old
hot rods with engines that require leaded fuel. And yes unleaded fuel
can ruin an engine designed for leaded fuel. Personal experience
maintaining a P&W 985. Used to run car gas, when leaded fuel disappeard
the operator ruined 4 cylinders because the exhaust valve seat would
hammer into the head. He started blending car gas and 100 LL av gas and
the valve problems went away.
