Hi,
Other day I was driving from Boston to Montreal and few miles before Canadian border I decided to top up on diesel. At the gas station I noticed "Ultra-Low Sulfur Highway Diesel Fuel (15ppm Sulfur Maximum)" and I thought it is good. Remembering reading on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-l...#United_States).
But I fail when I try to insert the nose to fill up. It was so big and therefore didn't even fit. It also had a metal ring on the tip of the nose making it even bigger.
Does anybody knows why?
Was it for trucks only?
Was I lucky as it was not acceptable diesel?
See attached picture.
It seems to be huge problem with quality of the diesel in upstate New York and Vermont.
Once I was passing by Burlington (Vermont) and check out 2 gas stations and on both diesel was with bio additives (crappy corn! pardon my language).
Thanks!

truck nozzles are typically larger for a higher volume flow rate.

You can use the bio diesel as long as it's at or below the 5% threshold.
