    The recent discussion got me wondering and I decided to ask petrol
    companies. Aral has replied so far. They say they have an additive in
    their diesel that would compensate for the removal of sulphur (and grow
    flowers in my exhaust pipe and bring out the garbage and do the dishes for
    me and whatnot. What did I expect from a representative of a petrol
    company?).
    This is Aral Germany, who knows what they do in other countries.

    have fun,
