Probably the biggest thing you can do is double and triple check the fuel line from your pump to your filler neck. I do it every time (now) , but had a scare in Italy with a lovely rental BMW where I was jet lagged and put a gasoline nozzle in the filler nozzle. My wife noted the mistake and very fortunately averted a disaster before I started pumping, but it has happened to numerous people that I know. It likely speak to my gene pool.
I ran the mat on the investigation versus the 3.0L engines under scrutiny. The numbers work out to 0.28% warranty claims versus vehicles on the road. I only have two CP4 vehicles on the road, but with 210,000 miles between the two, the CP4s have yet to miss a beat. With than in mind, fuel in the US is targeted to ATSM specs that are less stringent than Bosch speicifications. Bosch knew this and seems to be paying the price.
