houstonscott said:Wow great information. Looks like the S4s is old straight forward diesel. What does that mean. Well in short it's not a new high pressure diesel like in German cars. It has a governor and high compression. The pistons are of new design and are most of the reason for low fuel use. I can't see if there is EGR but it looks likes to me there is no EGR. I many ways this is good, no electronic's to fail and no major pollution stuff to worry about. What you didn't get. Much more power and economy. What did we get, an engine that will run along time, and I see know reason why bio-diesel would be a problem if you want to run that in some percentage. You will not have to run the very expensive oils for ESP diesels.

The mitsu mt180d in my signature has no problems running with home heating oil in a pinch. It makes for extra fuel filter changes, but when your snowed in with several feet of snow, no diesel, and 800 gallons of home heating oil... its only missing additional filtrations until its diesel.
