Many Diesels are facing a very serious problem as well with the new

Haven't heard that. Can you elaborate? If you are talking about the new,
ultralow sulfur content fuel my limited research on the subject indicates
that there is no problem running older diesels on it. It had to be backwards
compatible. There are lots of rumors, like it doesn't have the proper
lubricating qualities and such, but it's all nonsense.

The new diesels designed to take advantage of the ultralow sulfur fuel will
have to meet very stringent emission requirements and will be more
sophisticated including the use of fine particulate filters. The older
truck and boat diesels don't need to meet those requirements.
