It should be fine on well made bio, but not that many commersal places sell good bio,
poorly converted fuel and high soap content are a common problem with forcort bio, both will course an HDI problems.

and also some "bio" on forecourts is a blend so its as expensive as fossil diesel e.g. Morrisons 5% bio in fossil diesel (damn cheeky thieving buggers)
