Gentlemen, Sulphur, I understand your situation. Sulphur has its pluses and minuses. If any mositure is around it reacts with water and makes sulfuric acid. Very bad for engine. You can get the old diesel fuel. The railroad lobbied the GOV. to keep it available. It can still be burned off Highway, on farm. The red may be high sulphur but not guaranteed. Diesel fuel is available with additive that increases the lubricity. The ATF solution seems ok. I use Dextron III not type F. Type F has stuff in it that make it engage clutch packs faster, its rougher. The estimate life of a Roosamaster is around 70,000-100,000 miles on a 6.2 L diesel PU. At 60 mph make just over a 1000 hrs. Keep your filter changed and keep the water out of the fuel.
