BIO DIESEL LINKS - guaranteed best from horse's mouth

You sure its not just a blocked filter? Unless light on dash means water in fuel? Some cars have that I think.

Join that forum and post about your problems, some ppl might be able to help or test your Bio.

If its the Bio at fault, then its poorly made stuff. Post on that forum, someone nearby might be able to test it, just to make sure.

Hes got it runnin,
half of the bio left in with some proper derv added,
says theres no water in looks like good stuff in his opinion,

it seems theres a little less power on bio and the Mpg is lower ..

Nope, Bio actually has more power than pump diesel.

£20 for a tank full? Sounds more like you've been sold veg oil thinned out with a solvent than biodesel.

If it was proper bio, the first thing it does is strip the crap out of your fuel tank and chuck it into your fuel filter....

Im not 100% on the bio other people use the same stuff with no problems

ididnt know it strips the stuff out the Tank

Sounds like it's veg not bio if they're not running it in HDI engines. Common rail diesels need biodiesel not veg.

Stripping the crap out of the tank is a GOOD thing, not a downside. It's like always running with a bottle of Millers/Redex/etc in the tank, Bio cleans the fuel system.

The only people running hdis up here mate > is "taxi-drivers,
not many 406s about other than taxis and theyre all for Normal derv

the people iknow that are running on this have citreons etc none that iknow of with hdis,
yup maybe it is thinned down veg oil ..dunno tbh,

[StevieboyTD]

Cleaned veg can look like good fuel ...



... but it's not if you drive a HDI !

[lozz]

yup it did look like clean fuel..it didnt smell like cookin oil, more or a turps smell too it,

wont be using it again tho,
Maybe if ifind a propper petrol station that as pumps for it will use it,
there Dont seem to be any about tho, only back street sellers sellin it up here
