[Vwdiesel] ULSD/additives question

[David Cook]

Are you sure about that?

All the stickers I've seen about 2007 model vehicles
re on LSD (500 PPM sulfer) fuel.  The other stickers
are on pumps of ULSD (15 PPM sulfer) which says that
it is for 2007+ vehicles and is recommended for any
diesel vehicle.
