Detroit will soon offer diesel engines in their P/U's like GM's Duramax that can take advantage of the fuel in reducing emissions.
WASHINGTON - Diesel fuel with minimal amounts of sulfur will be available nationwide on Sunday, Oct. 15. The fuel will cut pollution. A federal regulation requiring the fuel, adopted six years ago, has survived challenges by the petroleum industry and other obstacles. Automakers supported the rule.
In January, the Detroit 3 will offer diesel-powered pickups that take advantage of the fuel. They will be equipped with particulate traps that only work with low-sulfur fuel. The new fuel, called ultralow-sulfur diesel fuel, has 15 parts per million of sulfur, down from 500. More diesel-powered vehicles are in the works from many automakers.
Frank O'Donnell, president of the environmental group Clean Air Watch, agreed last week that ultralow-sulfur diesel enables "one of the greatest advances for clean air in a generation."
