Hi guys! Need your advice . Gonna buy a diesel van 
in US and travel Central/South America . Do you know about Ad Blue and Ultra Low sulfur diesel availability there? 
Thank you for help 
Greetings Welcome!
Diesel is not a good choice for out of the USA. I’d go with gas.

Yes for sure you can do that.
I was gonna buy a diesel rig . Later I asked my mechanic if thats a good idea and he said NO! Diesel long block alone cost 10k and takes weeks to arrive plus 250 a hour for labor. V8/v10 chevys / ford are a dime a dozen ( around 3-4k installed) … can be completely rehauled in a couple days buy anyone anywhere. Diesel dont work like that. Long waits , expensive parts.
Greetings!
Yeah, the hype about diesels in the USA is pure baloney. They might get slightly better gas mileage, but the total cost of ownership is 2-3 times that of a gas engine.
