[Vwdiesel] TDI- European detuned

[TexasTDI]

No BD available in my area.  }:o(

Diesel fuel in TX and CA is minimum 48 cetane.  Even if you don't live in
these two states, it's possible to find good fuel.  Just look for an Amoco
station.  Amoco Premier is always a minimum 50 cetane.  And Amoco Power
Blend (I think that's what it's called ) is minimum 45 cetane.

Even though I don't really need the cetane boost, I still use a diesel
treatment to get rid of any possible water in the fuel.  I've used Stanadyne
Performance and Power Service Diesel Kleen (silver bottle).  Both perform as
expected.  I'm sticking with PS because it's cheaper and readily available
at my local Wal-Mart.
