Back before MPG was important diesel was used because it was inexpensive. So the car engines were not designed to have good MPG, they were designed to run well and be as similar as possible to how a gas engine preformed. Now MPG is important, and since you can get much more power out of diesel, small diesel car engines are being designed to run more efficiently. This is also because there is more technology available to do so. This enters the clean diesel engine.

Will low sulfur diesel fuel harm new diesel engines?
It shuoldn't but I would check with the manufacture of the diesel engine you have..

Cheek the pump
Will diesel hurt your engine?
Diesel will not burn in a gas engine, flash point to low; it may clog things up but nothing permanent
What effects will low sulfur diesel fuel have on a marine Detroit diesel engine with turbos?
low sulphur diesel will have no effect whatever. new lubricants have been added to fuel to compensate for the reduction of the sulphur
Can a diesel engine run on used transmission fluid?
It is toxic and it will get low mpgs
Why do many cars have diesel engines when petrol gives a better performance?
Some cars have diesel engines because diesel engines give more mileage and diesel is cheaper than gasoline in some countries. In the UK diesel fuel costs more than gas but, because diesel engines give much better mileage (miles per gallon), people are still happy to pay more for the diesel fuel if they run diesel vehicles. Diesel engines last much longer and have much better torque at low revs than a petrol engine.
What is the required Air fuel ratio for a diesel engine?
There is no required a/f ratio on a diesel. It can be as low as 100:1 at no load idle.
What happens if you put high sulphur diesel in a new technology ultra low sulphur diesel engine?
The diesel particulate filter will be damaged.The diesel particulate filter will be damaged.
What is the value of a 1984 king cab 4 by 4 pickup?

Can you use 500ppm diesel in a common rail engine?
Pre 2007 diesel engines can run on 500 ppm diesel fuel. 2007 and later diesel engines that call for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel should not. These systems use EGR and the extra sulfur in the diesel creates sulfuric acid by nature and will then be reintroduced into the combustion process. Even later diesel engines are using diesel particulate filters that are sensitive to the extra sulfur. Bottom line, if your engine says that it is rated for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15ppm) use it.
What are the causes of damage of diesel engine exhaust Valve?
one of the causes is bad low quality fuel
How do you find diesel adulteration?
If there is adulteration in diesel, you will gt late throttle response. There will be ignition delay. A good diesel gives wafer crisp power delivery & quick throttle response. Good quality diesel gives excellent low end torque & strong pulling power from lower RPM. As per obsevation of Multijet engine of FIAT :- In multijet engine, good quality diesel burns with clattery sound on idle. In multijet engine ,at cold start ,Adulterated diesel gives diesel clatter but diesel clattter disappears when engine goes to operating temp. In multijet engine at full operating temperature diesel clatter disappears & engine revs like petrol engine without sound of diesel clatter.
