I would really like to know if anybody out there in Fred's land is using bulk furnace oil for fuel, especially in the 2004-2006 PD motors. Ive been told repeatedly by bulk
fuel dealers inthe US and Canada that there is abvsolutely no diffenence between "furnace oil" (untaxed) and "road
diesel (taxed big time). I used the former for many years
with no problems in my various Jetta diesels (1980's), but I never had the guts tro try it in my new 2004 TDI wagon,
mainly because the VW manual specifically prohibits it's use in the high pressure BEW unit injectors. Nevertheless,
I would be really surprised if nobody else is using it. My question is: what was the outcome?
