The introduction of low-sulfur, on-highway diesel fuel into the US market in October 1993 brought to light several concerns. Among these, the predominant issues were lubricity, low-temperature operability, and dye regulations. Use of low-sulfur diesel has not been reported to create lubricity problems, as occurred with Sweden`s ultralow-sulfur fuel. Industry tests have shown that new engine designs are significantly less sensitive to changes in the aromatics, cetane, and sulfur content of diesel fuels. A review of testing to date, and a discussion of the test methods available to evaluate diesel`s properties, will set the stage for a discussion of the future direction of diesel regulations.
