Well I am not sure about this, I do recall some reports stating numbers below 8.4 see here
http://www.clean-diesel.org/pump_survey.html
EPA pump survey results.

Data from EPA's ULSD pump survey from the Fourth Quarter of 2006 through the First Quarter of 2010 indicate that more than 99 percent of highway diesel fuel pumps are now dispensing Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and that the sulfur content of the fuel is less than 7 parts per million (ppm).



BUT! THE real question is ...does the fuel show 8.4 before or after refining?

AND CAN THAT SULPHUR CONTENT BE REDUCED?

AND IF SO....AT WHAT COST?

ok heres the guideline

In addition, diesel fuel designated as ULSD must remain ULSD (15 ppm sulfur content) throughout the distribution system, with certain exceptions.

while we see 8.4 is below that, we also know 6-7ppm, seems to be readily available, so some kind of refining would be necessary to compete in the ulsd markets.

heres a look at the labelling
