Maybe a dumb question, but you remember the old saying. Can you buy liquid Sulphur to add to the fuel? What was the actual Sulphur that they take out? Is Sulphur, Sulphur? Such as the same Sulphur you can use for fertilizer and the same Sulphur you have in mineral blocks. I have no idea why spell check keeps capitalizing it. After looking up the spelling, I didn't realize Sulphur can also be spelled sulfur. To me, a fuel supplier should be treating their tanks already and it should DEFINATELY be treated before it gets hauled from the refinery. My thoughts.
Side note, from filling fuel filters in the truck, I'd always pour out of a howes or power service container. Anyways, with a little left over fuel in the howes container sitting in a dark shop, there's little black almost soot like pieces very small, on the bottom. This is from the pumps at the supplier.





Not sure of the difference of natural diesel fuel sulfur, but they removed it because it wrecks the diesel exhaust catalyst setup on newer emissions engines. Don't want to cause more problems than the emissions system has on it's own with good ULSD fuel.
