Yeah these bright boys that ram stuff down our throats figure that having a fuel that produces less energy will pollute less. I don't know how that works when you use more of this new fuel to do the same work. I noticed a big difference in mileage and power with the C-15 in the Peterbilt, using more fuel has to pollute more.

It's unfortunate that the new fuel causes problems like low power with older engines, but the reason newer engines are using more fuel is that electronic engine management systems can better control injection events. The when, how much ,and how often fuel is injected in one cycle has everything to do with what comes out of the exhaust. I have been told that my CTD injector sprays at 4 occasions during the compression to ignition stroke.
The extra equipment needed to achieve the unrealistic goals set by the G man is why we "need" ULSD.
