NOVELTY - System comprises source of hydrocarbon (HC) fuel with organic sulfur (S) compound; desulfurization unit to convert organic sulfur, first unit to reform S free HC to hydrogen (H2) enriched fuel; a second unit to convert CO and water to CO2 and H2; and third unit to convert CO and O2 to CO2. An auxiliary fuel supply temporarily operates the plant until specific temperatures are reached.    USE - For fuel cell power plant supply.    ADVANTAGE - The instant starting of the vehicles such as automobiles, bus, truck is achieved using the fuel cell. The fuel cell is of light weight, compact and capable of processing gasoline or fuels which contains sulfur. The usage of fuel cell prevents environmental pollution as reduction of pollutants and more efficient use of natural resources is achieved. The vehicle can be started by auxiliary source of fuel suitable for fuel cell without significant fuel processing.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A system comprises: An auxiliary fuel supply temporarily operates the plant until specific temperatures are reached.    (a) a source of hydrocarbon (HC) fuel with organic sulfur (S) compound;    (b) desulfurization unit to convert organic sulfur to nickel sulfide;    (c) a first unit to reform S free HC to hydrogen (H2) enriched fuel;    (d) a second unit to convert CO and water to CO2 and H2; and    (e) a third unit to convert CO and O to CO2.    A nickel reactant desulfurization unit treats the undiluted stream of HC fuel to convert the organic sulfur to nickel sulfide to sulfur free HC fuel.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS is also included for    (1) a sulfur scrubbing bed comprising a monolithic open cell sponge substrate with interstices provided with high surface area washcoat in which the washcoated interstices are coated with nickel and an electrical current source is connected to the bed for electrical supply such that the bed attains operating temperatures; and    (2) a system for removing sulfur from HC fuel using the sulfur scrubbing bed.
