What I understand is to the contrary....the older fuel systems would NOT run well on the new ULSD, and VW opted to wait until 2008 to bring out an completely new fuel system that would work better with ULSD.  Diesel bubbas, what do you say?  BTW, we now have the ULSD here in Florida.

would suffer from a warranty and image perspective.

  Petro Canada is currently building a clean diesel refinery here in
Edmonton to supply the western Canadian market so we will have clean
diesel. However, IF VW would sell me a new tech TDI and IF I drove in
the USA the likelihood of fuel related problems is very high. That was
his story and there are no new tech TDIs in north america and won't be
until US oil cleans up it's act.
