The EPA has announced new rules in labeling products regarding the new ultra-low sulfur diesel. All aftermarket additives that are for use in diesel fuel in the US are affected by these regulations. The regulation states that stocks shipped on or after June 1, 2006, which are sold in containers for use by the ultimate consumer of diesel fuel, must display on the additive container, in a legible and conspicuous manner the following: "This diesel fuel additive complies with the federal low sulfur content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and non-road engines" SFR meets this requirement and is adding the stickers to its products.

"This diesel fuel additive does not comply with federal ultra-low sulfur content requirements for use in model year 2007 and newer diesel motor vehicles or model year 2011 and newer diesel non-road equipment engines." D-SOL Lubricity/Cetane Formula and D-SOL Multi-Functional All Season Formula meet the new ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel regulation.
