Gas Pump Warning
While filling up today i noticed a warning next to the pump:
Low Sulfur Highway Diesel 500
Federal Law prohibits use in 2007 and later highway vehicles and engines
May cause engine damage
Should i be worried about using this fuel?
I have a 2007 Super Duty with the 6.0 power stroke diesel....

from what i've heard all stations are using ultra low sulfur and maybe the station you went to hasn't put the new sticker on it. I could be wrong (at least that what my wife tells me from time to time).

Evidently the fuel station you went to is still running old stock, or hasn't run enough of the new diesel though the tanks yet to be certified as ULSD. As far as I know all suppliers of on road fuel have been shipping ULSD since around October. A gas station has to either empty thier tanks and fill with ULSD or dilute the LSD with enough ULSD to meet the ULSD specs in order to get the new ULSD sticker on the pump.

I would bet it's ULSD anyway, and they just haven't applied the new sticker.
It would be interesting to know if there is any LSD (500ppm) remaining at common pumps, besides off- road dyed fuel. If there is, and they're relying on that little sticker to prevent misfueling, there are going to be problems......

I am not sure if it was because I was at a truck pump or if it was the 500ppm. It was a lot larger than other diesel nozzles I had used. I have a private source for fuel (no it is not agri) and have only bought when out on the road so I do not know if this was a thing like the old unleaded versus leaded nozzle thing or not.

I have the same sticker on my 07. I think it is to help all the people who buy an 07, and then hear everyone say that all 07 diesels have to run ULSD. Since all of the 07s were actually built in 06 that is not true for Ford, only the 08 Super Duty trucks have to run ULSD.
