I am not so sure I buy all the hype about fuel anymore. I beleive our fuel is below the european standards and I'd even believe it is A factor keeping some of these überdiesels out of this country but it is clearly not THE factor. Not the only factor.
I think the poor quality of the fuel here is overexaggerated. The 2.7 CDI in the Sprinter is the SAME engine they'd put in the C and E class. It must run OK on American fuel because IT'S HERE, What about Ford Powerstroke, that uses a HEUI system very similar to pumpe-düse I beleive and those run on American fuel as well.
One more question, that NEVER seems to get answered.
Skypup is loaded. Why the flying F***K doesn't he just import whatever diesel he wants through a registered importer and get it certified and have a 1000 gallon tank of the best diesel he can get on his ranch?
That's what I would do.
Maybe it's more fun for him to complain about how sh1tty and hopeless everything is?
So how about answering my question SP?
