<p>[QUOTE="PackRatTDI, post: 165083, member: 3306"]Mexican diesel is actually very good quality. It has a higher average cetane rating when compared to US market diesel, and had the same pre ULSD sulfur rating of 300-500 ppm. Mexican diesel used to be high in sulfur but in the 90's PEMEX reformulated their diesel fuel</p><p> </p><p>My dad took a trip in his 2006 Jetta TDI and it had no problems on the fuel, got great MPG. The only problem is that diesel powered cars are almost unheard of in Mexico, so consequently the diesel pumps have only the large high volume nozzles for trucks and buses. The older TDI's have fuel necks that accept the old larger nozzles but the '06 has a restricted fuel neck. So filling up required the use of a funnel, lol. Since PEMEX stations are all full service, the attendants were a bit perplexed about the situation, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
