What else can I help you with?
Does using low sulfur fuel produce less sulfur dioxide?
Yes, using low sulfur fuel produces less sulfur dioxide emissions compared to high sulfur fuels. Sulfur dioxide is a byproduct of burning sulfur-containing fuels, and reducing the sulfur content in the fuel can help decrease the amount of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere.
How sulfur dioxide is produced from fossil fuels?
Sulphur is contained in most fossil fuels, it burns as well. Answer: Sulfur in fossil fuels is present as sulfides, disulfides and mercaptans. The followig ist is brief comparison of the expected (nonnumeric) amounts to be expected by fuel type: * Coal - Low to High Sulfur content* Bunker Oil - Low to High Sulfur content* Heavy Diesel - Low to High Sulfur content * Diesel/Furnace oil - Low sulfur* Gasoline - Low sulfur * Butane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant )* Propane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Methane - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Natural Gas - Low sulfur (a few ppm as odorant ) * Sour Natural Gas - High sulfur* Refinery Off Gases - Low to High Sulfur content
What is the amount Difference between high sulfur and low sulfur diesel?
There is not a clear cutoff point between "high and Low sulfur diesel". Ultra low sulfur diesel ULSD is what is currently required for on road use. ULSD can contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur (15 micrograms sulfur per gram of fuel or 0.0015 wt.%). Low sulfur diesel would contain more sulfur than ULSD and high sulfur diesel more than low sulfur diesel.
Is the electronegative of sulfur high or low?
Sulfur has a high electronegativity.
What is the disadvantage of low sulfur Diesel fuel for old diesel?
It has low sulfur, use additive

Can you use high sulfur in 2008 Ford truck?
you can but it will cause damage to the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and other emission componets. It would take about $8,000.00 to replace parts. As far as I know all diesel that is sold now is ULSD.per for shop manuelNOTICE: For areas where ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm sulfur maximum) is required, use only ultra low sulfur diesel fuel in diesel vehicles equipped with an Oxidation Catalytic Converter (OC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). In a diesel vehicle that is continually misfueled by using low sulfur (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur (500 ppm or greater) diesel fuel, the sulfur can effectively poison the catalyst. Continuous use of low sulfur or high sulfur can destroy the catalyst and render the catalyst useless.
Why do oil companies advertise that their fuels are low in sulfur?
high sulfur fuel results in sulfur dioxide emissions which contribute to ground level pollution, acid rain and respiratory illness. In effect the companies are saying that their fuels do not have this problem as much as others.
What can we do about preventing acid rain?
Avoid putting sulfur into the air. This can be done by burning low sulfur coal, or by using scrubbers to remove the sulfur from the exhaust. Also use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
Can you use Lucas fuel additive with low sulfur disel engine?
Yes
Is airport diesel fuel ultra low sulfur?
Not yet, nor is it important.
Does sulfur have a high or low melting point?
It has a melting point of 113 degrees celieus
