Some haulage company's used to forbid you to fuel up with city/ultra low sulphur diesel, in fact it was a sackable offence. If you fuelled up a Volvo truck with this crap, not only would you get the sack but the warranty on the tractor unit was null and void. I'm talking of a few years back when this crap first became available, Volvo trucks have now evolved and can run on city diesel. It's a bit like driving with flat tyres, so it's something I would avoid doing. Costs more in the long run due to the **** poor performance.

but perhaps the answer is there in the name..
CITY diesel.
if you was sitting in miles long traffic in a "city"
your performance then was less than flat tyres if you never moved further than a trailors length in 5 minuets,
hence the name and intended use of said product.
years ago (about 15 I think ?) I had a well used - hi miler moondao as a cab,
my local MOT man stipulated I used city diesel before my MOT,
as it "poluted" less during the rev test..
worked for me at the time..
