Bio Diesel

Post by BigTam »

After being stung for £1.14 a litre for diesel on the way home from DF, I have been looking into getting some bio diesel, dont want to run on chip fat or any other used oil but the proper stuff, even it is only 74 pence per litre.

Is anyone running the proper stuff and if so is it ok :?: , everything I have read on this says it will run just as well with no modifications, but would rather get info from someone that is actually using it, cheers.

run my AAZ on it for ages. runs superb , if anything quiter and cooler. is an excellent detergent so change filter at 500 and 1 miles and carry a spare aswell. it strips al the crap from ya tank/lines and dumps it all in the filter - hence 2 filter changes close together at low miles when you start using it.
might also perrish the low pressure return lines - go to citroen and buy some of their injector return line - looks lie windscreen washer line , is more resistant to biodiesel.
quite alot of companis dont put in an antiwaxing agent to keep cost down. ive run it neat with no aditives and had no probs . bung in a couple gallons of pump diesel if your worried. (or i have read 5l of petrol but never tried it)

im running on new veg oil with a pre-heater conversion. Have a look at my posts. Is anywhere actually selling proper bio-diesel at a reasonable price?
