It is taxed at 20p less per litre than normal diesel. There used to be a place in Iver, near slough, but I can't find the details any more. There is a basic list here
I would suggest a bit of further investigation first as in a recent thread ("Pugs and biodiesel" 21/5/2006) it was claimed that it was not suited to all engines. Apparently older ones are ok but newer models should only be run on a mix containing 10-20% bio. There is also apparently some question as to whether use of bio can affect warranties.
Thanks for that Brian, i give it a look. from chris Addlestone surrey
I don't think Chris will be too worried about the warrany issue on a 405TD.
Sorry Brian my old pug 405 don't have turbo fitted.some times i wish it did but i can put up with a old plodder.
Had a look and i am thinking twice in useing it .
Any body used it ?
I use it , but in my 1995 Discovery 300TDi not a Pug it runs very well with it. I've ran it on upto 80/20 mix but it's not recommended for newer engines.
It's great when all the regular stations are selling at 99.9p or more and I was buying at 91.9p
AND WHERE WAS THAT??
AND WHERE WAS THAT??
IN MANCHESTER !!!!!!!!!
======================================================= Anyone using it on Peugeot 406 Hdi engine? How long/How much(ratio of bio to conventional) Cost savings? Downside, if any? Tia, Wally.
I think that counts as a "newer" engine and you should not use stronger than a 10-20% mix (i.e 10-20% of bio). I don't think its worth the hassle of filling from two different pumps when the engine (or at least mine) is already returning an average of 46mpg.
