Interesting info. Will be good to know for future reference. Thanks!

For my 20 yo tractor that doesn't have high pressure rail (or any emission crap), I would use it. If I had a newer tractor, I would not risk it...

I burned 40 gallons of old heating oil from my neighbor, tractor never skipped a beat.

I also have a L4760 with emissions (PMF) and 200 hours of steady heating oil hasn't affected it at all. The heating oil is mostly all ultra low sulfur now. Same product as diesel.

As long as you have a good filter, you will be ok. The newer high pressure fuel systems need really fine filters. If I remember correctly, We switched to 5 micron filters because of the tight tolerances in the fuel systems after some “dirt “ related failures.

Ultra low sulphur diesel became a requirement in 2006 or so. I think off-road applications got an extra year or 2. If there is a chance it predates that I wouldn't run it in a modern emissions tractor. No worries running it in an older machine. If it was clean & uncontaminated & I knew it was 2010ish or newer I'd run it in my Kubota with a DPF.
