Petrol or Diesel? - Trans Stans and Mongolia
As I've not yet bought my expedition vehicle I'm fortunate enough to be able to choose which fuel to use. So I'm wondering, which would be better for a trip out of Europe through the Ukraine, Russia, Kazakstan and Mongolia?
I can see that diesel has its advantages - better mileage and better low down torque, less volatile; but then petrol is cleaner if I'm storing it in jerrycans
And given modern diesel engines does dirty diesel pose more of a risk to engine health than low grade petrol? And as for parts of the year the temperatures are below 0°C is diesel rarer because of the gelling problems?
What would anyone recommend?
