Have just been talking to my local fuel supplier about the new regs (out since the 01/01/04 by the Comm Gov) lowered the sulphur content in diesel again.He said this time we have no come back to the oil companies as it is a gov reg. He heard that Mobil is closing down in Australia because it is going to cost them $300 million to change they equipment to satisfy new regs.
A friends Delica's pump started to leak and he was told there is up to a months waiting time to have it fixed and a cost of $450 in Rockhampton. It is believed it can happen to any diesel pump. I was told that all we can do is canvas our local federal minister. What I wonder is how long will the new seals last, after replacement.
What has anyone else heard about this and is it a major problem?
Regards Bruce.
