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.

What is a good diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel is the only diesel fuel. Either Low Sulphur or Ultra Low Sulphur, depending on the emissions regulations of the country you're in. If your vehicle has an aftertreatment system, which can consist of just a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), or a DPF and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system which uses DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), you can only run Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel in it, or you'll clog that DPF up within the hour, your engine will derate, and you won't be going anywhere.
