I just read the MSDS on the Gunk sulphur additive. And I wouldn't use it. Contains nothing but solvents.
Much better off using TCW3 two stroke mixture oil if wanting to add lubrication to ULSD.

There is no real reason to add sulfur back into the fuel.

The process of removing the sulfur causes lack of lubricity, not the removal of the element itself.
Just use a lubricity additive and leave the sulfur on the shelf.

The sulfer does not lubricate the fuel. However, the process OF REMOVING THE SULFER is what causes the fuel to lose its lubricity. Adding sulfer wont help anything. Just add 1oz of tcw3 2-stroke per gallon and youll be good to go. =D
