Can you be my friend? j/k
 
Addblue is that chemical that is used to "detoxify" the exhaust. The downside to owning a Bluetec is that Addblue must be refilled periodically. I prefer the CDI.
 
U.l.s.d. is slightly rasing the price of diesel where I live (south Fl/ cutler ridge)being the most convenient station is selling it for $2.55 in the mornings and $2.59 in the evenings. I personally don't like that place.

Diesel Fuel nozzle by klausk

I own a 2005 E320 CDI. Great car. Today I went to a Shell station, where I have re fueled before, but the fuel nozzle did not fit into my fuel tank restrictor anymore. With other words it was to thick. I asked the attendant about what happened here? I don't know, you are the first one to have a problem. So I went to another Shell station, same problem, then I went to a 3rd Shell station, and that one had the skinny nozzle which fit into my fuel filler neck. Can anybody shed some light on this problem, also does anybody have an idea about removing the restrictor in the fuel filler neck.

Does anone have experience using biodiesel in a CDI? I know all about Willie Nelson - I'm asking about people with direct experience of their own. Thanks.

I asked the question about BIO Diesel when I picked up my E320
last year in Germany. They said: NO Bio Diesel. When I asked why not, they answered that Bio Diesel would interact with the plastic like the fuel tank. I was not quite happy with the answer, so I wrote to MBUSA and their answer was: only 5% Bio Diesel was approved. There was no explanation on why not. Needless to say, since I am still in warranty, I stay away from Bio Diesel.

Topic rename? by shipo

As the 2007 E-Class diesel has dropped the "E320 CDI" moniker in favor of "E320 BLUETEC", should this discussion be renamed to "Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesels"?
 
Best Regards,
Shipo

klausk - 06 TDI jettas have the same "fuel neck restrictor" as your E320 CDI. i don't like it! it is designed to prevent us from using the high-flow diesel "truck nozzles". Apparently with the VW there is a way to remove it - maybe you can have the Benz fuel-neck-restrictor removed?
i have not encountered any local stations changing from "car nozzles" to "truck nozzles" and would be quite annoyed if they did that locally. possibly there is a Shell "zone office" which would have info about this for you. or if you could contact the shell station manager, s/he might know why the nozzle change.
