Yes it does.
ALL diesel has at least a little bit of sulfur in it; sulfur is in all crude oil. They could remove all the sulfur from diesel, but a slight amount is left in because it lubricates the engine.
Low-sulfur diesel contains no more than 500 parts per million of sulfur. This fuel is legal to use in any engine made on or before December 31, 2006.
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel contains no more than 15 parts per million of sulfur. This fuel is required for all engines made after January 1, 2007, and you can use it in any diesel engine.
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.
It is "very slightly soluble" in alcohol. Seriously, though, elemental sulfur doesn't really like to dissolve in anything.
Pure diesel does not contain any sulfur atoms. The molecular statement for Diesel is C12H23, which means each molecule of diesel contains 12 Carbon atoms and 23 Hydrogen atoms. Sulfur shows up in diesel because it is in the crude oil originally and the cost of refining out all the sulfur from the diesel is very expensive.
Sulfur melts at a much lower temperature than sand. That might be useful. Also, there are solvents which will dissolve sulfur but not silicon dioxide. Finally, there's always the magnifying glass and tweezers method.
Euro 4 diesel fuel has a maximum sulfur content of 50 parts per million (ppm). This low sulfur content helps reduce harmful emissions from vehicles and improves air quality. In comparison, previous generations of diesel fuels had higher sulfur content, leading to more pollution.
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.
It has low sulfur, use additive

Sulfur will dissolve in water, while copper will not. Copper is insoluble in water.
Low sulfur diesel (LSD) is a type of diesel fuel that contains significantly reduced levels of sulfur, typically less than 500 parts per million (ppm). It was introduced to decrease harmful emissions from diesel engines, improving air quality and reducing environmental impact. In contrast, ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) has even lower sulfur content, at 15 ppm or less, and is now the standard for on-road diesel fuel in many regions. The reduction of sulfur in diesel fuels helps to minimize the formation of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.
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.
Sulfur-contaminated diesel may appear darker in color and have a strong, unpleasant odor. It may also cause the fuel to foam or form sediments, affecting the fuel's performance and potentially harming the engine over time. Regular maintenance and proper storage of diesel fuel are recommended to prevent sulfur contamination.
run what is recommended. but higher sulfur will not hurt it at all current diesel fuel is 50ppm
Pre 2007 diesel engines can run on 500 ppm diesel fuel. 2007 and later diesel engines that call for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel should not. These systems use EGR and the extra sulfur in the diesel creates sulfuric acid by nature and will then be reintroduced into the combustion process. Even later diesel engines are using diesel particulate filters that are sensitive to the extra sulfur. Bottom line, if your engine says that it is rated for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15ppm) use it.
Pemex stations in the Baja Sur have ultra low sulfur diesel, also known as ULSD. Pemex stations also offer low sulfur diesel, also known as LSD.
Yes, sulfur can dissolve in aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. When sulfur is added to aqua regia, it reacts to form sulfur dioxide gas and other products.
Venezuelan diesel typically has higher sulfur content compared to low-sulfur diesel standards set by international regulations. However, the country's refining capacity and practices can vary, leading to fluctuations in sulfur levels. While efforts have been made to produce lower-sulfur fuels, much of the diesel available may not consistently meet low-sulfur specifications. Consequently, it's essential to check specific product details for accurate sulfur content.
