Low sulfur diesel
(OP)
So are there any side affects of using LSD in lets say a EMD 645 or 1300 HP Fairbanks Morse oppose pistion that are heard of yet?
All I heard is that it might make 1 % less fuel economy.
What about ULSD (Ultra Low)?
Thanks

RE: Low sulfur diesel
You shouldn't see other side effects as long as you are using oil that conforms to the latest and greatest SAE specs.

Just keep your lube oil in good condition and have it tested every month to look for drastic increases in metals which would indicate accelerated wear on your pistons, liners, and rings.
do good ring inspections to check for piston scuffing or high top ring clearance.

The requirements for minimum Cetane number or ignition quality per ASTM D613 and the lubricity per ASTM D 6079 are the same for these six grades. The standard acknowledges some lubricity issues that are being studied. The number 1 fuels include kerosene. The No. 2 fuels have higher heat content than the No. 1 fuels. 40 CFR 80 prevents the refiners from increasing the aromatic content over the old fuel grades to avoid other environmental impacts.
