TD5 --Biodiesel

(1/2) > >>

William:
Will a td5 run on biodisel? im worried about running my new landrover on it. When i say biodisel i mean the priopper stuff with all the correct chemicals from an approved supplier. Anyone run there td5 on it? experiences would be greatly recieved. Thanks x

smo:
No, i have considered it before and LR say not to so i didnt bother trying althogh there is no reason why it wouldnt.

unknownmanxman:
I think that the high pressure injection system (3000psi) Cant cope with the thicker biodiesel and cost many thousands to fix!

beast5680:
if the td5 is common rail the injection pressures will run around 1200 bar or so i wouldnt have thought anything more than B5 biodiesel would be ok as there are a lot of fuel companies that already are adding 5% to the mix anyway

Jake:
Dick Strawbridge from BBC2's Its not easy being green runs bio diesel in his Td5 Defender
