Diesel proposed to increase sulphur amount allowed in diesel by Govt
If you've been listening to the news lately in the last couple of days, both Australia and New Zealand politicians and their "expert advisors" (once again, just like the medical doctors with their lies about COVID) have announced that in the soon-coming impending DIESEL shortage emergency, in order to apparently source more diesel product in a state of emergency, THEY ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT FOR OIL COMPANIES to supply diesel at the current low sulphur level at 10 parts per million (ppm) and increase it to at least 50 ppm, at least FIVE TIMES HIGHER!!!!!!!!!!! for at least 2 months. (they are also going to allow inferior levels in aromatics in petrol as well)
High-sulfur diesel can damage diesel engines
, particularly modern ones, by forming corrosive sulfuric acid during combustion, which destroys engine parts and contaminates oil. It primarily damages emission systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Catalytic Converters, leading to high repair costs, reduced performance, and increased maintenance.
Key Damages Caused by High-Sulphur Diesel:
Corrosion and Wear: Sulfur creates sulfuric acid inside the engine, corroding cylinder liners, piston rings, and metal components.
Emissions System Failure: High sulfur levels "poison" or clog catalysts and DPFs, which are designed for cleaner, ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Oil Contamination: Acidification of engine oil forces faster depletion of oil additives, leading to reduced lubrication, sludge buildup, and shorter oil life.
Fuel System Deposits: It can increase deposits in the injection system, resulting in power loss, improper dosing, and lowered fuel efficiency.
While older engines might tolerate it for short periods, long-term use is destructive. Modern diesel engines with advanced emission controls are far more sensitive to high-sulfur fuel.
