sulfur isn't the issue, it's the things that are taken out, or molecularly changed when the fuel is desulfurised.

I can send you a block of elemental sulfur, incidentally, it was most probably obtained from desulfurisation of oil at a refinery...which has dropped the price to only a couple of hundred bucks a tonne

edit...just for interest, the cockatoo yellow mountains of sulfur at refineries are pretty amazing...look at link for a pile of prilled sulfur, bigger than football fields.

Diesel engine use high pressure in the injection system to maintain efficiency and risking clogging these with contaminants and metal particles is bad idea.

Also the HFRR lubricity test with used motor oil shows almost no benefit.




I think it odd Cummins offers the Sentinal system on it's Diesels, it puts used oil in the fuel system an adds new fresh HDEO to the engine from a tank.
Will wonders never cease.
