[QUOTE="drools, post: 132061, member: 1032"] Malaysian CRUDE OIL has one of the lowest sulphur contents in the world. Malaysian PETROLEUM has quite high sulphur content - high enough that it doesn't meet Euro3 or Euro4 emmissions requirements - and high enough that VW refused to sell it's latest turbodiesel engines to a local manufacturer due to fuel compatibility concerns. Why does our fuel have high sulphur? I'm not so sure that it's "imported" low quality fuel. AFAIK, the fuel we buy is locally refined from our own crude. I heard it's something about adding sulphur to improve the refinery yield - because the refineries here are under pressure from the govt to increase yields in order to keep the cost of fuel low.Then again, on this point I could be talking out of my ass. Will have to verify with friends in oil&gas. [/QUOTE]
