What fuel each individual engine manufacturers engine was designed to run (low sulfur or the current ultra low sulfur) is gonna vary depending on the mfg and the engine. The only thing I can tell you for certain is that any on highway engine mfg for the 2007 year model was required to be compatable, meaning designed to run on, ultra low sulfur fuel. As far as running an additive, the guys at the fuel shop dad and I have dealt with now since back in the 70"s say run a qualty additive in everything regardless, it can only help. They said wether the engine/fuel system was designed to run ULSD or not they were still seeing problems with pump seals leaking, sticking metering valves, etc due to the loss of the extra sulfur and resulting loss of it"s lubricating qualities. According to industry magazines this isn"t supposed to be an issue, other lubricating additives are used to replace the sulfur, but according to my guys what they see doesn"t match with what we"re all being told by "the industry". Personally I started running an additive in my service truck, on their advice first of "07. Since starting on the additive (I have to figure miles and gallons used, etc every quarter for IFTA) have actually picked up several MPG. So far I"ve used Stanadynes additive as well as another from Lubrication Engineers and have had no problems with either. The cost of both is about $6 a bottle. In my case the added MPG results in about $80, per fillup, in additional travel miles I can charge. In other words the additive pays for itself and then some, especially when your in a buiness where mileage is charged out to a particular job/customer. So, in short, find a qality additive and run with it. You"ve got nothing to lose and alot to gain.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
