Ford put out a service message recently about running red fuel in the 6.0 engine. The major problem is the increased sulfur content in the red fuel. In order to prevent problems with the engine, Ford recommends decreasing the service interval by half when using red fuel.

"Emergency Use of Off Road Fuel:
The EPA has issued a temporary waiver for the use of high-sulfur off road diesel fuel in vehicles being driven on the road in some areas of the US. This is in response to shortages resulting from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Using high sulfur fuels (over 500 ppm sulfur) can cause engine damage. It is recommended that oil change intervals be shortened by 50 percent (mileage or operating hours)when high sulfur fuel is being used to help prevent damage. Broadcast Message 4952/53."
