Which diesel is better 50ppm and 500ppm?

Engine performance improves, because 50 ppm diesel has cleaner and more effective combustion properties than 500 ppm diesel.

What is ppm in diesel?

Most new diesel engines that employed advanced exhaust aftertreatment technology have become sensitive to sulphur, which is why Caltex offers the ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel with a sulphur level as low as 10 parts per million (ppm) – the environmentally ‘green’ and clean diesel fuel.

What is 50ppm diesel?

Quest Petroleum Diesel 50 PPM is a highly refined, middle distillate, hydrocarbon fuel; and it contains less than 0.005\% sulphur by mass. These extremely low sulphur levels enable the diesel to be compatible with emission control devices such as catalytic converters and diesel particulate traps.

What is 500ppm diesel used for?

Applications. Quest Petroleum Diesel 500 PPM is designed for use in Direct Injection (DI) and Indirect Injection (IDI) diesel engines. These are engines are found in passenger vehicles, leisure vehicles, vans, trucks, marine equipment and generator sets – to name a few.

What diesel should I use?

The higher the cetane number, the more volatile the fuel. Most diesel vehicles use fuel with a rating of 40 to 55. If you plan to drive in very cold weather, choose diesel fuel rated at least 10 degrees lower than the coldest temperatures you expect to encounter. Consult your owner’s manual for specifics.

Is low Sulphur diesel better?

Ultra-low sulphur diesel allowed further emissions control technologies to come to fruition, lowering harmful emissions of sulphur dioxide and fine particulate matter (PM), providing even greater benefits to diesel engines of all sizes as well as benefiting the environment, as it is 97\% cleaner than other diesels .

Which fuel lasts the longest?

Which fuels have the longest shelf life? Propane, alcohol, wood, and charcoal are examples of good emergency storage fuels that can be stored indefinitely and still remain viable.

What is the cleanest diesel fuel?

Cleaner Diesel Fuels Today, ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel – containing 97 percent less sulfur – is now the standard for both on-highway and off-highway diesel engines nationwide. Using this cleaner diesel (ULSD) immediately cuts soot emissions from diesel vehicles and equipment by 10 percent.

Is ultra low sulfur diesel the same as diesel 2?

Low sulfur fuels The standard fuel for highway use was low sulfur diesel #2 until October 2006. Ultra low sulfur varieties became the standard across the nation for diesel engines in October 2014.
