Low Sulfur Fuel
Heard a diesel expert on the radio this morning discussing the new low sulfur fuel that will be mandated for the U.S. later this year I think?
Anyway, he said that the U.S. doesn't have any minimum standards for this new fuel like in Europe so we could be in for some lousy fuel.
Basically he said that this fuel could have a lot of water in it and we would be advised to have and additional fuel filter in place, Specifically, a filter that is good for emulsified water to protect our later 7.3's. The early models might even have more problems. I hope this is all just radio talk.
I suppose Raycor would be the best place to look for this kind of filter?
