How Do You Compare ULSD And LSD Auto Fuels?
As of June 1, 2006, the United States has been on a path to total conversion to ULSD auto fuel use. ULSD is more environmentally friendly than LSD fuel, as it produces far fewer emissions. All 2007 and newer diesel engines are now required by law to use ULSD fuel. By 2010, all diesel engines will have to use it. Fuel experts say that there are really no discernible differences between ULSD and LSD auto fuels. However, there are a few subtle differences that you may want to compare for your own information. Compare the efficiency of ULSD and LSD fuels. Most highway tests have shown that there is little to no difference between the two fuels in this area. LSD fuel may have a slight edge in 2006 and older model cars, but anything newer has been built specifically to take ULSD fuel. Be careful when using ULSD fuel in electrical equipment. It has less conductivity than LSD fuel, so you’ve got to pay particular attention to grounding and other safety measures. You wouldn’t want to get shocke
