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.

Is sulfur a poison?

sulfur is poisonous as it is dangerous because sulfur is consists of chemicals able to kill once drank or injected in the body. Another answer: Sulfur in small quantities is not by itself poisonous. (see Related Questions for list of poisonous elements). Although sulfur dioxide is sufficiently safe to be used as a food additive in small amounts, at high concentrations it reacts with moisture to form sulfurous acid which in sufficient quantities may harm the lungs, eyes, or other tissues. In organisms without lungs such as insects or plants, it otherwise prevents respiration. Sulfur is the component of both Mustard Gas and Sulfuric Acid. Other input: If it's used in insecticides and pesticides, I wouldn't experiment with that question. ;)
