Just try it if your engine fails keep the oil company responsible for the damage..........

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that

I know some pumps aren't strong enough to handle BIO, but some like the Bosch units are..

Thanks for the info though.

I am a Ford technician and a couple of months ago we had a new shape fiesta towed in - it was a 1400 tdi - this is a Peugeot engine by the way - the bloke had been running this on bio diesel and knackered the pump - the car was still under warranty but Ford motor company sent out a field engineer and they tested the fuel and the blokes warranty was void on the fuel system and any related components ! If you are going to use it I would only go as far as to mix it something like 80% regular and 20% bio - the total job cast the bloke about £ 2,000 all together ! Hope this helps you make up your mind !

Mike d ...your smack on mate !!!.How's our engine doing your side (dv4td 1.4 h.d.i) apart from dodgy fuel ???. boodad don't do it mate !!! ive seen a few of these scraped due to "crisp and dry " fuel .your engine dw10td runs on very fine tolerances (injectors on microns) and can be upset by the different viscosity biodiesel.perhaps its not so bad in indirect diesel engines BUT

NOT IN DIRECT INJECTION ENGINES!!!

That's enough for me thanks...

Worth asking!

Thanks all.

sounds very similar to ours mate ......all the best mark
