Let me tell you my experience.
I was working on a farm a few miles away and my transfer tank was empty, so I filled up my 4020 John Deere at the local truckstop at noon. As the afternoon went on the 4020 started running bad....the governor wasn't acting right, it kept getting worse and worse..
I had just had the injection pump rebuilt, so I called the place that had done it...the first thing they asked was if I had been using low sulphur fuel....I told them what I had done and they told before I pulled the pump off to try putting some sulphur additive in the tank...I poured in a GENEROUS dose, started the tractor up, and it was running like a champ before I got it backed out of the toolshed.
The low sulphur fuel doesn't have enough lubricity for the old systems!
