Well up here in Canada where we've Diesel Powered Smarts the fellows in the back room at the mercedes dealership tell me they've sent off quite a few IP where the owner has run questionable biodiesel or SVO and "trashed" things... I'll assume since the iP is only for 3 cyls, why it must only be 1/2 the price of a om603 pump eh? Certainly if it's sitting in a box waiting to be shipped somewhere that can't be cheap Evidence shows those new fangled IPs aren't as forgiving as the ones in a 617. Exposing anything with bluetec in the name to such fuels gives me the shivers...
