What scares me about diesel is the refusal to honor warranty when bad fuel has been purchased.

I don't think diesel is cheaper to keep running either.

:(. Yes been thru that with my pickup diesel.

Todays diesel fuel has changed, less sulphur = less lubricity. With my truck I have been putting fuel additives in for years and it runs fine....that is until my fill up at Pilot. They have bio-diesel mixture. I filled

my truck snd drove 150 miles or so and had a "water in fuel" message come on. Well, I purchased my 2500 HD in 2006 and never have seen that message before. I checked and drained some fuel from the

filter and periodically still get that message. It also threw a an exhaust code as well. What have they denied and said bad fuel caused it.

There are various reports out there similar to this one..

"Adding to the expense of owning a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, these complex systems are so intricate that it’s near impossible to find anyone to work on them. Unless they are a Mercedes certified mechanic at the dealer. Kristen with Bearfoot Theory says “Because the computer on these Sprinters is so complicated, most regular mechanics won’t touch them, leaving the dealer as your only option when you have an issue.”
