Goodbye leaded petrol in Morocco
 
During my trip the petrol stations in Morocco have all been changing over to new fuels, replacing four different fuel types with just two (plus two-stroke).

Previously diesel was available as 'extra smelly' or Eurodiesel 350. These have both been replaced by Eurodiesel 50. No idea what the ramification is, sorry.

And the previous unleaded 'super' and san plomb unleaded have been replaced by a new 'super san plomb'. In theory this new super unleaded should be available everywhere.

The other thing I noticed is a host of new petrol stations in out-of-the-way destinations. There's even a new Inov station in Imilchil north of the town before Lake Tislite.

Tim

PS: this move was predicted a couple of months ago on another thread.

That concurs with what I have seen over the last week Tim, there is one Sans Plomb fuel choice available and it seems to be pretty much everywhere. The VStrom seems to like drinking it!

Don't you mean, , 'goodbye leaded petrol' ?

Used to be as high as 500 ppm.
The diesel is now 50 ppm. = 'low sulphur'

Getting closer to our European ' Ultra low sulphur' stuff. which is 15 ppm
