Does anyone know if there is Ethanol in Low Sulfur Diesel? I've been looking around online and I can't find the answer in laymen terms. Going to be doing an E-Fuel Conversion on an OBS 7.3 Powerstroke and my previous OBS 7.3 I did a conversion on I used CPE Synthetic Cored Stainless Braided hose. It's been a year since I did that one and the system is holding up just fine but I've been doing more research as I begin to tackle this second E-Fuel Conversion in hopes I can make this one a little better and came across a few articles on PTFE Hose and how it's so much better due to it's resistance to chemicals but namely Ethanol. However all these articles are geared toward gasoline powered builds and doesn't say anything regarding diesel. So just wondering if anyone knew If we had any Ethanol in our Low Sulfur Diesel as it doesn't advertise it on the pumps (at least where I'm from) like it does on the gasoline pumps. I need to decide whether I need to shell out all that extra change to get the PTFE hose and fittings to prevent excessive deterioration or If the CPE Hose will be just fine since it is a diesel application.. Thanks!

 

No, there is no ethanol is ULSD. There is usually some biodiesel, however, to get it to the right lubricity spec.

 

Alright cool, then should have no problem with excessive deterioration running the CPE synthetic cored rubber stainless braided like I did on my first E-fuel build. Thanks!

 

bio diesel has trace amounts of methanol.

the methanol is used to convert the bio fuel to diesel and after the conversion, its supposed to be reclaimed.
