NO. The trucks will need the ULSD also. The changes are being imposed across the board on diesel engines EXCEPT for train and large boat engines. The joke at work is "Come 2007, the air leaving the tail pipe will be cleaner than the air going in". I'll have trucks with this technology within the next few months. They are spec'ing out the package for our 2007 model trucks due for purchase in Sep/Oct. International chassis with a Cummins engine.

so the truckers will have to have completely seperate diesel fuel pumps? Because I suspect the expense to switch the trucking system over will be prohibitively expensive and they'll be outside the 500ppm requirements - correct? This new law (or regulation created by some nameless bureaucrat?) sounds as though it will make the use of diesel fuel in passenger cars *more* difficult, rather then less so - correct? I guess it depends on how much the makers of small diesels are willing to foot the bill and introduce cars that will accept the new fuel - all for the North American market only - IMHO. This all sounds like a bad way to go about cleaning up the diesel fuel system in this country - seems like it'd be better to gradually implement this system -- but I'm not sure - Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ .
