Bad Diesel affecting 2012 ML350
I've been purchasing my diesel from Ultramar because they have the cheapest diesel in my town.
For a couple of months, I noticed that when I start in the morning if I don't give it about 2 mins or so to warm up it will buck. Feels like for a second it loses power and then kicks in.
A bit never racking. I noticed that a few folks on here have made similar posts.
I decided to change to the Shell V-Power diesel. Since the 2nd refuel, I noticed that it has stopped, no need to warm it up.
I am going to try using Shell's regular diesel to see if there is a difference.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Are there other brands that I should avoid?
Thank you.

Run a tank of v power every couple of tanks. The diesel v power is known to hawe good detergents.
