    Well, we all know european and american diesel fuels are different (american being lower grade ...), but what effect does that have on the engine itself?

    If one were to bring a diesel engine from Europe (disregarding all EPA stuff here), would the car run just as fine (I guess it would get less mileage due to the lower grade diesel) or would it need additives or similar stuff?
    Is it comparable to the leaded/unleaded, when for a while, older cars needed additives in the unleaded to lubricate valve seats and guides ... or is it just an efficiency matter?

    Thank
