Well not to impressed with the clean diesel site. Most of it seemed like guess work and common sense. Nothing to support it and it seems like from what I've hear...esp about dates that some of this is wrong.
As for the Chevron article that was very interesting. Good to know stuff.
I agree with the increase in additive sales. I never purchased any in the past...Just poured in a bit of bio-d or SVO/WVO. But with my wife's New 06 TDI I'm very careful. Since the switch to ULSD I've been putting in 1/2 QT of DK ever tank. Those pumps and cams are very susptible to fuel lubricity and especially the Type of Engine oil that is used. I've seen some pics of very bad things on the TDI forum of bad fuel and esp bad oil.
Wierd thing is her mileage went down 1MPG over the past few tanks after starting to use it. Car only has 8K miles. Not sure what fuel we are getting though as I've asked and they don't know here and the sticker says LSD. Plus it has gotten cold so they may have made a switch to the winter blend here in NC.
But as for someone taking care of it I am disappointed to. The truth is this thing is going to cost some a TON of money and others...hopefully me.. very little until we learn what is going on here.
But what I would appreciate is some information from someone other than a private institution or buisiness to provides some real facts. I mean they might as well not jelly coat it. Yes. This is going to F*&^ up your car and YES... there is nothing we have done about it yet. I'm not to angry though. The cost to help clean up are cars can be paid in the billions to future gernerations or a few hundered here and there now.
I just hope it doesn't effect the huge amounts of black smoke we can billow at the pulls and on the streets. I'm going to have to find a black market dealer for dirty fuel
