Td5 & Bio-Diesel?

--- Quote from: "ChrisW70" ---It's a bit of a mixed bad according to google and 'td5 biodiesel'  :wink:
There appears to be some talk of invalidating LR warranty if it is used  :?

But if the warranty has expired.......

Shame if Td5's can't hack biodiesel, they only want 80p/litre at the place near me - beats the 95p I had to pay t'other day (only put a few quids worth in though, just enough to get to the cheaper garage)

TD5's & bio along with Td4's is well not the best idea


so far seen a TD4 need 2 fuel pumps in 2 weeks after running on bio (or VO & diesel mix)

the older tdis with mechanical pumps run fine on the stuff but not so sure about the newer stuff with the lecky fuel pumps

BEWARE.
I cant comment on Landrover TD5 products, but Ive seen many problems with it in other cars.
I work in a Hyundai , and Toyota main dealer, and Ive seen several cars that have run on Bio and have destroyed the lift pump in the tank.
We dont know why, maybe its thicker , or partially seperates in the tank, but Bio was definitely at fault.
The newer diesels dont even like the addition of Kerosene, destroys the high pressure pump.
IMHO Id only run an older 'traditional' type diesel on bio, the newer ones with direct injection seem far more delicate........

Bush Tucker Man:
Bum!

After forking out for a new tank sender/pump recently, I'm not in the mood to do that again :evil:

TULL:
so i assume my old TD would run fine?
