What is ULSD Diesel?
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) is a type of diesel fuel that has a sulfur content of 15 parts per million (ppm) or less. It’s designed to be more environmentally friendly by significantly reducing sulfur emissions compared to regular diesel.
Here’s how it works:
Cleaner and More Efficient Fuel
ULSD diesel is refined to reduce sulfur content, which helps to minimize harmful emissions from diesel engines.
Required for Modern Diesel Engines
Many modern diesel engines, including trucks, generators, and heavy machinery, require ULSD to operate efficiently and meet emissions standards.
Environmentally Friendly
By using ULSD, you’re helping reduce air pollution and improving the overall environmental impact of your diesel-powered equipment.
Important Things to Know:
- Minimum Order: Each service area has a minimum order requirement. Please contact us to confirm the minimum order based on your location.
- Compatibility: ULSD is required for use in newer diesel engines, including those in trucks and heavy machinery.
- Cleaner Burn: ULSD produces fewer emissions, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.
- Availability: ULSD diesel is available for delivery in both clear and dyed varieties, depending on your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between ULSD and regular diesel?
ULSD (Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel) contains 15 parts per million of sulfur or less, compared to much higher sulfur levels in older diesel formulations. This significantly reduces harmful emissions and is required for most modern diesel engines to operate efficiently and meet emissions standards.
Do I need ULSD for my generator or heavy machinery?
Most modern diesel-powered equipment, including generators, trucks, and heavy machinery, requires ULSD to run properly and stay compliant with current emissions regulations. Contact Supreme Oil to confirm compatibility for your specific equipment if you’re unsure.
Is ULSD available in dyed diesel?
Yes. Supreme Oil delivers ULSD in both clear and dyed varieties, depending on your intended use and applicable tax requirements.
Is there a minimum order for ULSD delivery?
Yes, minimum order requirements vary by service area. Contact Supreme Oil to confirm the minimum for your specific location.
