Kung maglalabas ng EURO IV diesel ang Big-3, sana yung V-Power diesel at Turbo Diesel nalang.
Kailangan i-retain yung mga cheap dirty diesel para sa mga PUV.
Kasi malamang mag-poprotesta sila sa mahal ng EURO IV diesel.

siguro its time to have this law reviewed....kaya lang naman kinailangan ng ethanol para luminis kahit konti yung euro 0.5 nating diesel....now with this euro 4 thing...I think the ethanol should be ditched out as it can even do worst than good..

February 22nd, 2011 08:11 PM #27They have to start phasing in Euro4 diesel soon because the goal of the entire region is to be completely Euro4 by 2016. By that time there shouldn't be any fuel lower than that across ASEAN, so phasing-out of good ole' krudo has to be simultaneous.
Goodbye, smelly smoky noisy rattle-trap Melford...pasok Malaguena CRDi Euro4!

February 22nd, 2011 08:31 PM #28Ethanol can't be blended with diesel fuel, it's too volatile for compression ignition engines. But it's OK for blending with gasoline. Currently, methyl esters from palm, peanut, coconuts, etc are made into biodiesel.
Biodiesel is not all bad, just don't blend it more than B5 for commercial use. The guys who make the stuff at home shouldn't sell it to the public because it degrades oil viscosity quicker than usual. Buyer beware na lang.
Cheers

Sorry meant to say maybe the Euro 4 diesel doesn't have to be brought in with a 2% bio blend since it's cleaner already. Apparently it still has to be 2%.
2% blend may not sound like much but most of the mechanical engineers I know say they don't know how the engine will handle the bio blend in the long term. They say it might corrode the fuel lines or shrink seals.
I say let the PUV/bus operators still use Euro 2 if they insist. Just pull them up everyday for smoke belching. Kusang lilipat din mga yun. Australian diesel sulfur limit is at 10ppm daw but that still doesn't stop ill maintained engines from belching black smoke.

February 22nd, 2011 09:18 PM #30*Wh1stl3r You might be referring to effects of ethanol on fuel systems. I wouldn't be worried about biodiesel though, Rudolf Diesel actually designed his original engine to run on vegetable oil, the base stock of most biodiesel.
JAMA, the Japanese auto makers' umbrella association actually said they're OK with B5 since it didn't present any technical problems with current engine technology.
Yup there's nothing like the prospect of heavy fines to compel cutthroat businessmen to spend a little more money for the sake of our lungs, theirs included
the triumph of man over... man!, using the crudest of implements (by modern standards).
Traffic!
