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.


Engines made after 2006 can't use the new fuel. How's that gonna work?

Huh? Either you know something the rest of us don't know or you have it
backwards.
Engines manufactured in 2007 *have* to use the new fuel. They can't use the
old fuel.
Some truck manufacturers will be equipping 2007 model year vehicles with
2006 engines for a while until the fuel is readily available. I suspect
many boat manufacturers will do the same.
There's a upcoming date that the new fuel must be available.
