Not likely.
Most diesel fuel has 5% biodiesel added to it for lubricity. Modern diesel
engines with DPF and Regen cycles don't tolerate biodiesel well.
Here's a couple of articles to increase your understanding of the matter.
Maybe biodiesel will return to the pumps.

are ruined for the same reasons.
Used cooking oil is severely contaminated with water, acids, and food
particles that do not flow throw injection pumps and injectors. Failure to

Good question. I have only really noticed it with MB diesels. For some reason
people think you can just run them with no maintenance and they will last a

Could also be something as simple as some doofus pulling the steering
wheel/airbag with the battery connected. When SRS loses the signal it errors,
and the only way to clear it is with SDS/Xentry.

Yeah reinforce it or you will be welding it again soon. It is easy to blast

Definitely still from the post-war time period where they were using 1930s
designs and whatever tooling that had survived the air raids. Looks little
