Does anyone know if the new ultra low sulphur diesel fuel will harm the older tractors?

Here's what I've been reading here, for what is worth:

Removing the sulphur also extracts some lubricant. Early ULSD was reported to cause injector pump wear. The refiners are now adding lubricant to prevent that.

You can also add Power Service (or other brand) Diesel Fuel Additive to assure lubricity, but it probably isn't needed now.

Aside from that, no problems. And the new stuff won't burn your eyes or make as much smog compared to the old diesel.

Its not really new... California, parts of Texas and some other "green" states have been using it for the last 2yrs.. I wouldnt worry, as California said..But I do like the additive..
