[C320-list] ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel)

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

On page 99 of the May issue of Sail, in the Diesel Notes article, it  is 
suggested, that due to the reduced sulfur content in the new ULSD, that we  should 
use an additive which would add back into the fuel a lubricant that the  
sulfur used to provide in the old LSD.  I own a diesel truck, and my dealer  and 
his mechanics all say that the new USLD has a special additive in it  that 
provides the lubricity formerly in the old fuel.
 
Are our boat engines different from truck diesels?
 
I sent the above as a question to the author, I'll let the forum know  
if/when I get a response.  Any thoughts/comments from this fine group are  most 
welcome.
