The lower the sulphur the better it is for the DPF.

Since they've all gone to low sulfur fuel, it requires more processing, or choosing the right crude to start with, therefore increasing the price..

Hi Logzy,
My passat doesn't have DPF... It doesn't make any different to me...
Is it going void my warranty if I don't use 10ppm??:o
I don't have sticker on my door tank if I need 10ppm...It said no bio....
No wonder I got a lot of smoke... 50ppm all the time.....:? Sorry
Well shyte if LOGZY does it......
BP it is!!:D
( payout disclaimer - already using BP as it is supposedly the highest performing diesel at the moment, and I am after the neddies... )
All i was saying is Diesel is NOT Diesel and different grades (sulphur content) are available.Quote:

Check this link out, and bring up the page for Diesel fuels. And I thought there was only "just diesel".

(I'm limited to Caltex because of my lease Starcard).
Do you have a link to one of these?Quote:

According to this morning's ABC News report, the Indonesians are going to be considerably out of pocket when fuel goes up 28.7% to 65 cents a litre....That's right...65 cents! Apparently, the government has been subsiding fuel for years and now intends to "soften the blow" of rising world oil prices by incremental cuts to this subsidy.... Mmmm....If it's going up by 28.7% then it must have been around 46 cents before. Sure, we know that average earnings over there are only a fraction of ours, and there are a lot of very poor people, but to be paying a third of what we do for fuel does make you wonder. Even with our government's excise (around 38 cents) and GST take (around 15 cents) deducted from the price of diesel (here around $1.80) it brings the price of the product to $1.27. That means the Indonesian government is subsidising to the tune of 62 cents a litre after the 28.7% rise. For years Indonesia was a largish oil exporter, but like everywhere else the oil is running out. I wonder if they're restricting oil exports to provide for their own domestic market? Venezuela is doing the same, WA is preserving natural gas for it's own use....maybe Australia should follow suit before we run out of oil altogether.
