A New Additive for Diesel Fuel

The effects of sulphur in diesel fuel oil have been referred to in our columns several times recently. Many operators of large and small automobile and industrial oil engines have experienced a high degree of engine fouling due to the use of these fuels containing a high proportion of sulphur. The use of such fuels is increasing since we have to draw considerable supplies from the Middle East. Coastal shipping has been particularly affected since they frequently pick up their supplies at foreign ports and have no check at all upon its sulphur content.
