First I've Seen

[jguzman75]

Took off the the beach this weekend and while filling up noticed a sticker on the pump saying that I was filling up with low sulfur diesel that has been known to cause major mechanical problems in engines 2007 and older. I knew that this was coming I just didnt think it was so soon. I promptly went to the part store to look for some kind of additive to put in the tank and just as I thought no one knew what I was talking about. The salesman told me that I must be wrong and stated " You mean to tell me that everytime some fills up with diesel there going to have to put a bottle of something in the tank? That can't be." I called my brother, who has a trucking company to tell him, and he had something he was putting in his trucks for months. It promises the world lubrication, cleans injectors, increased fuel economy, higher cetane level, etc. I put it in and WOW what difference Power was huge and a little better fuel economy, I'll know more when I fill up next.

we started using powerservice now at each fillup, and yes i noticed a slight difference in idle noise, could just be my mind to

so the epa removes the sulphur as a lubricant and we go add something back in to lubricate, is this also being added as part of the new fuel reformulation???
i would like to think so other wise ther may be a ton of trucks not running to good very soon

Similar one that's been showing up on pumps around our area here.
If the new fuel is already at the pumps then that explains why our mileage has dropped off and engine noise up,we de-tuned the truck 20hp and it has helped alot.

So lets get this straight. They take a vital component out, charge more for it and force you to purchase a product to make up for the deficiency which, essentially, puts the product back to it's original state?? Yep, sounds like a gov't program. -mad Sounds like the whole damn Freon thing again, yet they did nothing about all the bovine out there flatulating causing even more greenhouse gasses then the Freon!

i was just over at the EPA site, researching a chemical, and ran across a whole table devoted to cows and flactulance, some one mentioned to put in Particle traps to contain the methane release, I will see if i can find it again











no really they did mention the % of methane per cow and herd size and its effect on the environment, the answer was to eat more chikin











ok ok seriously it was in the report but they concluded the means to limit the methane production would far outweigh the reduction worldwide so we are stuck with smelly cow farts

EPA Retrofit Guidance Will Help States Calculate Air Quality Benefits

Release date: 06/13/2006

Contact Information: John Millett, (202) 564-4355 / [email protected]


(6/13/06) EPA has issued guidance to states on how retrofit projects can be used in state plans to meet federal air quality standards and conformity determinations.

Diesel retrofit technologies can reduce pollution from the existing diesel engine fleet by up to 50 percent for nitrogen oxides and up to 90 percent for both particulate matter and volatile organic compounds.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) mandated EPA to develop the guidance. Further, the president's FY07 budget request includes $49.5 million to support EPAct's Diesel Emissions Reduction provision.

The guidance also complements last year's Transportation Act (SAFETEA-LU). For the first time, the Act directs states and metropolitan planning organizations to give priority funding to diesel retrofits and other cost-effective mobile strategies under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program.

I have not seen the environmentalists running around plugging up all the active volcanos either! I would love to see that article Robert!

Seriously, though, where do you buy that DZL-PEP stuff at? Unless I missed it, I could not find it for sale on the website.

clarification I hope

FYI, the 500 PPM sulpher is the same fuel we've been using for quite some time, the stickers are to tell you not to use that fuel in 2007 or newer diesels because they are under the new EPA regs.
I forget, but I think the new ULSD is like 50 PPM?
So unless you own a 2007 or newer truck, (does anyone yet?) this sticker means nothing.
Relax, any changes in performance are your imagination
BTW, I hope you all are using a good fuel additive already.
