Engines made after now can't use the *old* fuel, which is still
available, at least in some places. There should be a sticker on the
diesel pump that says whether it's low sulfur or not.

From what I've read there are different phase in dates for the ultra low
sulfur fuel.
For marine diesel engine fuel, the current "low sulfur" (500 ppm) becomes
mandatory in 2007.
The "ultra low (15 ppm) sulfur" fuel (which is now in use as of Oct 15th for
on road vehicles) will be required for marine diesel engines in 2012.

I am not sure what Charlie is referring to when he says "Engines made after
2006 can't use the new fuel."
