low sulphur diesel

I don't follow your question. You seem to be asking if it is okay to run ULSD in an engine that is designed for ULSD. So, the answer is obvious.

 

two stroke detroits would run upside down and under water lol. I've also seen them run away on there own motor oil.

Mechanical cats do it too. If you had the jakes on coming to a stop and didn't cut it off before the jakes kill the motor the motor will recoil backwards and run in reverse. All of a sudden your motor is running but all the warning lights and buzzers are going off because there is no oil pressure since the iol pump doesn't work in reverse

 

You aint kiddin'. I've seen this more than once myself. As odd as it may sound to have a CAT running in reverse, it's even weirder to hear the buzzers going off backwards. Plus the warning lights blink out of sinc.

And yes, you will show oil preas, but only if you upgraded to a oil vaccum retrofit gauge. With motor in reverse, you should be showing roughly 31 inches of vaccum oil # -1500 negative RPM.

Best way outta this jam is to re-Jake again, thus spinning the motor back into forward.

 

sulphur was a natural bactericide in fuel,the ulsd can easy start to rot(if not treated) and clog filters and fuel lines

 

The fuel additive discussion has been kicked around alot on a couple of other forums that I visit, maybe this one also. As I am a newby at this forum, this is the first I have come upon. Found some excellent reading at a site called "Bob is the oil guy"; this fellow knows his stuff!
Couple of things about ATF- It is not designed to be used as an additive; modern overdrive transmissons require friction modifiers, among other additives, that do not burn. At one time, one ATF brand had a substance in it that was not compatable with the injector o-rings of one make of diesel engine, causing premature o-ring failure. (Apoligize for being so vague, I no longer add ATF, so I didn't give it much thought at the time of reading. ATF also does NOT fall under the guidelines of the agency that governs engine oil, so soot is not required to be removed from it. Remember soot? #1 enemy of a diesel engine. Why would you want to pour it in your fuel, when so much work has been done to remove it from the motor oil?
As one oil fella commented, IF it was such a good additive, we would repackage it, to sell as a $10.00/quart fuel additive, rather than a $2.00/quart transmission fluid.
If lubricity is a concern, why not pour in something designed for such a purpose? How about 2-stroke engine oil?
If you feel a fuel additive is needed, why not put in a fuel additive?

I'm not trying to knock anybody here, just putting this out in case they are not aware of these facts.

 

I know a lot of people are doing the "DPF" deletes on the new 07.5 cummins diesels and new fords/chevys as well. The EPA had to setep in again and cause more regulations for transportation. I know the new 6.7 cummins get HORRIBLE mileage if you don't delete the DPF. It's illegal, as you would have expected. They have this thing called "regen" which I believe somehow recycles the carbon buildup or something. I'm not exactly sure. But I do know that when the motor is in the REGENERATION phase, the mileage is HORRIBLE. The new duallies are getting 8-10 mpg hauling 4 cars on a wedge style trailer. That's horrible compared to the previous 5.9 models without the DPF getting between 10 and 15mpg fully loaded. They have a DPF delete kit for the cummins that comes with a "fooler" box, that essentially fools the ECM into thinking the DPF is in place and working properly. Obviously, it would be in your best interest to remove it before taking it to the stealership for warranty repairs
