I have a small Yanmar diesel in my sailboat. I was recently talking to the service manager at the marina and he told me that he expects all kinds of diesel problems in the near future as the marina has just been forced to switch to very low sulfur fuel. He said that hoses, gaskets, O rings, etc are all going to start leaking and will have to be changed. He also mentioned possible fuel pump problems. This will not be a lot of fun if that dependable little diesel starts to run like a piece of crap.

I was thinking of trying to buy some bio diesel for the boat just to get rid of the terrible smell, both from the fuel itself and from the exhaust when the engine is running.
