I don't remember where, but I remember seeing something about the grade of diesel in the US being a problem with the euro diesel engines too. Something about they refine it more making it a cleaner burning diesel, but also more expensive. The trucking industry in the US is against anything that will raise the price of the diesel and have successfully blocked the very few attempts to improve the diesel. They were saying that is a big part of the smell and smoke.

I say if they want the crappier diesel that is harder on engines, let them have it. Have an auto grade and a truck grade diesel.
