Goodluck sa injection pump hehe

Exactly. Those engines WILL STILL RUN. Yes, sure they will. But at the expense of premature wear of fuel injection mechanicals. Sulfur adds lubricity to diesel fuels of yore. Lower the sulfur, and those mechanical injection diesel engines will just grind themselves to death.

Kawawa si Manong Operator kaka-pa overhaul ng injection pump nya.

^all mechanical components wear down thats why cars depreciate in value

Youll be surprised surplus engines are more resilient than you claim with the sulfur content ekek thing

Whatever floats your boat sir. I wont argue with you.

Parang nung time na fully implemented ang unleaded gas sa pinas (mid 90s)

A number of old cars conked out. Ours included due to premature valve damage. Wala na lead that lubricates the valves.

Had to have the engines overhauled and replace with hardened valves.

Ganun din effect ng pagbaba ng sulfur sa diesel engines. Yung injection pump nga lang affected ng added friction and heat.

anybody using Total fuels here? Any feedback? parang puro Unioil at Seaoil lang may feedbacks sa users. pero parang walang Total? Mukhang mas maganda ang fuel ng Total since it is a big company in France.

like any gas or diesel, they all have a base and additives. they all work naman..

it means that Total Fuels are not that bad naman? its just that mahina marketing nila and kokonti service station nila kaya hinde gano tinatangkilik? parang mga jeepney lang nakikita ko nag papakarga sa kanila pag may nakikita ako total service station.

Despite being a global multinational and the 5th largest in the world, Total doesn't have as much a presence in the Philippines with just a few stations hence the low marketing spending.

That said, they're still bigger than Unioil which has less than 50 stations nationwide. Unioil did a really good job being the first to market Euro 4 fuels, but now it's a level playing field.

On your question regarding the quality of their fuels, they're good enough to serve as the base fuel for Caltex and Shell in some areas in Luzon. The additives are also as good as other multinationals (Shell, Caltex, and Total are the only global multinational fuel brands in the country).

Bottomline - go ahead and try Total.

It is said that although the sulfur content was reduced, lubricity was restored through other means by way of a lubricity additive.... Infineum and Lubrizol comes to mind.

Sulfur in exhaust gasses 'poisons' catalytic converters and DPF. Your vehicle's emissions systems will last far longer within spec (ie. maintains efficiency in cleaning up emissions for the life of the vehicle) when sulfur in exhaust gasses are reduced. If sulfur starts bonding to the cat or DPF, these emission devices would start to fail and stop working.
