This October, the trucking industry will once again be affected by high fuel costs.  According to the EPA, as of October 15, 2006, 80% of diesel fuel sold for highway use must have no more than 15 parts per million of sulfur[1]. 

Kerosene based fuels, such as diesel, have high sulfur content.  Kerosene is mixed with fuel so that crystallization or waxing does not occur during frigid temperatures.  New additives are necessary to maintain fuel flow and the cost can be expensive.  Appian Logistics has a solution to high fuel costs!
