Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)

[krisinak]

i have been considering the purchase of a sprinter. spending over half the year in mexico, i need to be able to burn LSD, as ULSD is not available near here. has anyone successfully modified a 2007 and later sprinter to use the LSD? thanks, kris

Not sure how up to date these maps are - maps of diesel ppm - per country.

Interesting maps. Not totally useful, as they report the sulfur level in diesel country by country. In many countries, ULSD is available within the metropolitan areas, but not yet available in the countryside. Mexico is an example.

Agreed Chip
It is interesting though how much of the world is at the 500 ppm.
