New Diesel Additive

I was at O'Reilly auto parts and found a sulfur substitute. 2. 99 will get you a 12 oz. bottle and treat 37 gal. I dumped 2 bottles in, but it's to early to tell any difference.

I don't think sulfur is the problem. I don't think sulfur is the lubricant. I think getting the sulfur out by passing hydrogen over the fuel is the problem, not the sulfur.



Supposedly the fuel manufacturers add lubricant back into the fuel. However, I do not bet my VP44 on that fact. Adding anything cost $$, and I would bet it is the mininum additative needed and being somewhat(? ) annal I want more lubricity than the minimum.



I am my own warrantee station also

I agree with Bob. Not the sulpher it is the process to remove the sulpher that degrades the lubricity. There are many brands of additives to use to boost the lubricity. There was a test study floating around here somewhere that had a list of the additives that were tested and their corresponding lubricity.

I'm always hearing that ever since ULSD, people a getting worse mileage and a rougher and louder idiling truck. Maybe the sulfur substitute is like the lead substitute they made for gasoline. Figure it's worth a shot. After all it is cheaper than some additives of the same proportion.
