I don't buy into all this stuff about low sulfur fuel harming fuel systems. I've had absolutely ZERO trouble with it in tractors ranging back to the mid 70's. No failures, no leaks, no nothing. I use some Howes upon occassion, but not on a regular basis, and only a minimum amount when I do. The biggest thing I've noticed since the switch to ULSD was a considerable decrease in fuel efficiency, but I don't track it to the gallon either. I just knwo that all 6 machines that are running it here don't get as many hours of work from a full tank of fuel, although it is possible that they are getting pushed harder too. I just know that the tanks get empty quicker...
I'd fill it up and don't give a second thought to the fuel. I think a lot of stuff that gets blamed on LSD and ULSD is probably more to do with water and poor fuel system maintenance than anything else, but I could be wrong.
