Off road fuel is eventually gonna be the low sulphur fuel that was used in years past. I would recommend additive for increasing lubricity. Ask any older trucker what happened when the low sulphur fuel came out - fuel seals started leaking and numerous other fuel system problems. AS far as todays ULSD @ 15ppm, imagine what might happen if you run in engines from the 1980s. When it was introduced, I heard of 5.9 cummins common rail High pressure pumps failing soon afterward. Other problem include injectors sticking, rough running, poor fuel mileage, gelling @ 25deg F....... If todays engines can't take the ULSD, what will happen to the older ones. I'm scared myself that injection pumps will be failing and what else? You could use lightweight engine oil in the fuel too to increase lubricity. (5w30 @ 1qt per 100gal). Don't take my word, I just work on truck engines exclusively for a Cat dealer.
