A Michigan company has teamed up with Wayne State University, NextEnergy and Titan Energy Development in Detroit to win a U.S. military contract to formulate new maintenance procedures for diesel engines in light of government-mandated changes to diesel fuels. The $2 million contract will go to Brighton Diesel Diagnostics in Whitmore Lake for wear-testing of military generators using new low-sulphur diesel fuel. A spokesman for the company pointed out that Wayne State has a state-of-the-art bio-fuel lab, while NextEnergy and Titan Energy have expertise in generators. The concern is that low-sulphur fuel provides less engine lubrication, which could lead to premature engine wear.
