You are already runing ULSD unless you havn't bought it from the pump in the last 12-18 months.

There is some misconception here. The camshaft, rollers,cam followers, the rack, govenor and the lower part of of the plunger are lubricated by the engine oil.
The part of the plunger and barrel assembly that creates the high pressure fuel for the injectors is
only lubricated by the Diesel Fuel or good or bad what ever is in the diesel fuel.
There was a chart that had the Walmart brand 2 strok oil as being I believe it was 3rd best at reducing the wear scar on the Plunger and Barrels of the IP. I am not one to follow a chart simply because someone shows up with one but I had the 2 stroke oil left over so I said why not use it. If someone is interested in looking for the chart do a search for 2 stroke or 2 cycle oil and fnd it.
