Diesel on...

Hi,
Our new E320 CDI is doing really well right now on the current US poor quality Diesel fuel. It uses a catalist and 02 sensor to run cleanly. When the US has the new High grade diesel fuel for 2007 we might see the new tri-turbo V-6
diesel come over from Europe. This engine will not run well on current US available fuel. However, it can be fitted into darn near every current MB vehicle model, and with Urea injection it should pass emmissions in all 50 states. Time will only tell. The US has to get the diesel cleaned up first.
The first possible car to get it would be the new M/R/GL chassis.
MB wants to bring diesels back, but if there is no way to pass emmssions or
if no one will buy them, what would be the point?

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
