Leopaul's Heaven and Hell: Euro V diesels and GDi engines don't work in the Philippines. You get me?

Leopaul's Heaven and Hell, where I, Leopaul del Rosario, made some columns about the wrongdoings and some right stuff in today's ever changing society. It will be a little oasis of stress, anger, and rage pooled over while writing a column.

Today, I'm dealing about those...highly-advanced diesels and gasoline direct injection cars. If there's a Filipino complaining about this, is he or she bovvered? Well, he/she should be because this column is all about bovvering what's wrong about them.

Now, when South Korean carmakers like Hyundai and Kia launched models that come with either a diesel that is truly a Euro V compliant or a petrol car that has a Gasoline Direct Injection such as the Avante, Veloster, or the K9, why would Filipinos are getting interested to those? Let's not forget that the Philippine-market carmakers and distributors stated--both officially and unofficially--that our local fuels are "too dirty," which is why some vehicle models that utilize fuel-sensitive technology like gasoline direct-injection supposedly can't be offered here.

Yes, gasoline direct-injection cars can't be offered in the Philippines but what's a GDi-powered Veloster doing in the Metro Manila anyway? Ahem...Hello? Gasoline Direct Injection? Philippine fuels too dirty for this! Sorry to say that I'm afraid that there is some a**hole smuggled a car that is unfit for our local fuels. Also, there's some another GAGO who smuggled a Hyundai i40. Let's remember that the i40 do comes with a Euro V diesel and a GDi engine so HARI can't bring it here because...Euro V diesels are not compatible for our local diesels because we're a Euro 2 compliant country and second, gasoline direct injection cars are not compatible for Philippine petrol because they're too dirty. So why would he smuggled one?

Ah! Those idiots do prefer Korean cars because of their GDi or diesels! Well not much because let's remember that a few years ago, HARI brought in the new Elantra last year but the 1.6L GDi engine was been swapped into a less powerful 1.8L Nu MPi engine because of the Philippine fuel not compatible with the Gamma 1.6L GDi engine.

EURO V DIESELS AND GDi ENGINES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE ON PHILIPPINE ROADS BECAUSE AS THEY TOLD THAT OUR LOCAL FUELS ARE TOO DIRTY SO SOME VEHICLES WITH FUEL-SENSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES CAN'T BE OFFERED! You get me? You get me? You do get me? You do get me? Good but how come that there some idiots in the Philippines never pay attention to the fact and do what they're good at, which is smuggling a car with the engine not suitable for this country? Chevrolet Orlando, for example, has a Euro V diesel because it's made in Korea but the reason why it's not offered is because it's not capable on a Euro II compliant country.

As I said, ugh, I think I'm going to get a heart attack for this column I'm writing at, if a car comes with gasoline direct injection or a Euro V diesel, then it's not compatible on Philippine roads but how come they aren't BOVVERED? I said bovvered because I'm kinda like that Catherine Tate actress for saying that word. AM I BOVVERED? He he he he...

There was this article about Peugeot coming back in the Philippines with some of their models all powered by Euro V diesels and I said, wait a minute....are Euro V diesels not suitable on Philippine roads? That kinda puzzled me. I read to that article and that idiot just said...

"What's important to determine with diesel fuel is the amount of its sulfur content. Our engineers have studied and analyzed the quality of your diesel fuels, and they've determined that the sulfur content of your fuels is low enough to be used by our engines."

I'm afraid he's lying. Experts in the motoring industry of the Philippines do believe that these don't work in the Philippines. Huh, don't even think about it because if you fill a Euro V car with a Euro II fuel, risks of damage or breakdown will occur. He he he....

What really irritates me at all is this today's topic from my head. How come there are lots and lots of idiots from the Philippines are getting interested over the recently launched, third-generation Santa Fe DM? I mean come on, it's a Euro V car because it's powered by diesel engines. Yep, diesel-only Korean SUV that is so Euro V, it can't be sold in the Philippines because well you get that idea but how come they want to have one of these? How very dare you. There are some idiots want to smuggle one and this goes on and on until HARi officially brought in the new model and when they observed that the Santa Fe DM that HARI offered have less features than the smuggled one, it seems that they want to smuggle a Santa Fe because it's more well-equipped and fully loaded than the local one. ARGH....

I had enough of this. You know what Filipinos? Shame on you because as told by a million times, the Philippine fuel doesn't work on Euro V diesels and gasoline direct injection cars. Enough said.
