Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[doug_ngl]

Rob, My apologies reference stating that you are "already running"
ULSD. While talking to our delivery driver, I found out that the
mandate that Colorado is under has not taken effect in all areas of
the US, (read: get your story straight Doug!) so you are probably
right in saying that you are not currently running ULSD. In fact,
most of you are still on just the low sulphur stuff, but in our
travels around, we will start running into more and more ULSD, so I
guess we all better get ready, hence the lively discussion. Doug
