    Low sulphur fuel

    So here is the question. How well will our 80's, 90's DD run with the reduction of sulphur in the fuel?
    It's a lubricant and they just removed most of it. Do we need to be concerned?? Toronto

    They add lubricity enhancers to the fuel but you can add more. I use Power Service Diesel Kleen as its sold just about everywhere and the price is reasonable.

    I just started running 2 stroke oil after reading that thread, I added a gallon per tank. Just make sure it has no ash in it.

    Hello,

    After having two broken injector rocker levers I now add lucas fuel treatment to my fuel. My engine builder believes that the new fuel is too dry as far as lubricity goes and causes the injectors to get stuck during the winter layup. He also suggested a mix of 25% oil, 75% fuel mix and poured into the racor and through the engine just prior to haul out in the fall.

    If we run this fuel are we good or should we still use an additive?

    I'd like to hear from anyone who pulls a pink filter out of a Racor as shown in the ad.

    Sky - I too have been using the Diesel Kleen - 1 gallon per 100 gallons of diesel - what mixture ratio are you using?
