I have recently learned that the new Mercedes CDI diesel is not available in California, as it does not meet emission standards. I have looked around on the web, and been unable to find any information on what keeps it from meeting standards. I would think the problem could be sulfur, in which case running biodiesel would solve the problem. Anyone know the answer to this, or where I could find info?
