(1/6) > >>

Dave@23:
Hi I have a 95 discovery tdi auto. I have been running it on 100% biodiesel
it seems to run very vell I have covered about 2000 miles. changed oil and filters inc fuel. .Has any body got any views or experience with this fuel. :D

Bush Tucker Man:
I used to run my old 50th Anniversary on Bio whenever I got near the only supplier I knew of

However, I didn't keep it long enough after finding the supplier to do a full running report.
But, it ran fine on it for me

Range Rover Blues:
It's supposed to be better, like the catalytically cracked super diesel that I think BP sells (it costs more) it's cleaner burning, has better emissions and so leaves less cr4p in your engine.  Provided it lubricates the fuel pump (which it does) and burns then you can pretty much stick anything in a diesel but Bio is meant to be good.

Pub trivia, Otto Diesel's first 4 stroke engine ran on coal dust.
