The sulfur content in the European fuel is a lot higher than than the US.
We use 7ppm sulfur because of the emissions, this started back around 2007.
When did Europe start using their sorry excuse for low sulfur diesel?
We had to start using passive PM soot traps in the mid 90s, most diesels sold in the US had to have very high pressure common rail full electric injector control by 2000 to control NOx and PM, early 2000s egr coolers were needed to reduce NOx, 2007 was the ultra low 7ppm sulfur fuel roll out, then in 2010 active soot trapping using exhaust filters that regen and strict NOx emissions, 2013 or 2014 very strict NOx regulations force use of urea augmented converters on most diesels.
