Great stuff... there have been a bunch of stories lately about manufacturers who will be bringing diesel back to the US market, but hadn't heard about this one yet. Read the other day that ford is planning to bring a diesel-powered Focus to the US market, I think it was to be a 1.6 liter or something like that.

Anybody know if it will affect our 6.5's when they phase in the low-sulfur fuel? I remember having to put lead-additive in my '71 Mustang, and I hate the idea of doing the same thing with sulfur.

Lance,


I think that the only problem you will have will come from the injector pump. I think that a rebuild with different gaskets and such will fix the problem.
