Hey, guys.
This is my first post on this forum and I bring some news. Don’t use Propel HPR Diesel! Don’t get me wrong this stuff is amazing I love the fact it’s renewable and the extra cetane gives the TDI more responsive power! But recently my high-pressure fuel pump failed.
Lets back up a bit. I was merging onto the freeway when my TDI Jetta lost power luckily no cars were on the freeway so I quickly pulled to the shoulder of the freeway called AAA to get my car towed to Volkswagen. Thinking I would quickly get my car fixed and hit the road once again. Volkswagen charged me $150 to diagnose the problem as an HPFP Failure (a $5,000 to $6,000 fix) and seems to be covered under warranty. But they needed to sample the fuel to make sure I didn’t put gas in the tank. A few days later they get the results back as a FAIL because I used Propel HPR Diesel and not regular diesel, therefore, its no longer covered under their warranty.
The lesson don't fuel with Propel HPR Diesel because Volkswagen doesn't recognize this fuel as #2 diesel even though Propel states its #2 diesel and safe to use in any diesel engine. Propel really needs to work with the Big Motor Companies to get their fuel covered under manufacturers warranties.
