Diesel X5 owners :)

Here is a great link I found and used while my X535d worked. It is currently in the shop for an exploded Urea tube.

I did do my reaserch and according to the teamsters in transportation I spoke with. all diesel is the same. It was mandated by law that they make and use low sulfer Diesel Kind of like when they got rid of leaded fuel. ALSO I GOT ABOUT 28MPG. AT THESE GAS STATIONS!!!

www.gasbuddy.com

Well, if you are in California it makes sense that the California Air Resources Board mandates fuel quality, but there are a lot of posters on this site who aren't in California. Regulations differ by geography.

Also, within California, the sulphur content and total aromatic hydrocarbons are regulated, but I am not so sure about the cetane number, and the minimum acceptable cetane is a BMW specified figure. I am pretty sure that fuel lubricity is not specified either.
