For everyone who thought they had to convert to ULSD in October please check this link. Unless you are running 2007 engines and later, you will still be able to use Low Sulfur Diesel until 12/1/2010 unless you are in CA. Also, if you switch to ULSD, you may develop leaks in the lift pumps on some engines due to gasket shrinkage. As I understand it, gasket shrinkage is not a problem if you've been using ULSD, but can be a problem in vehicles and engines that previously used Lopw sulfur diesel. http://www.clean-diesel.org/highway.html
