The EPA and the Bush Administration have agreed that sulfur in American
diesel fuel will be lowered to 15 ppm as of June 30, 2006. At that time it will
be
clean enough to not contaminate catalytic converters intended to reduce NOx
contaminants.
Can anyone definitively state that 2%
Please show where sulfur oxidizes members of the platinum family.

Sulfur attacks the catalyst
So I am still a bit confused.
If it is the Sulfur content in petrodiesel that renders a catalytic
converter useless, and there is no sulfur in b100, why does a
catalytic converer have no effect on the exhaust of b100?
Is there some other issue?

Sulfur attacks the catalyst. Sulfur oxidizes most metals.
EPA has a schedule for phase-out of sulfur in fuels. The date for switch to
low-sulfur gasoline happened, January 2004 (at 15 ppm). The switch to
low-sulfur diesel is scheduled for 2009, currently, at 10 ppm. Very-low-sulfur
diesel
