It all comes from the same place anyway aprt from changes in the additive which hardly make a difference 
The problem with pure Biodiesel is that not many car manufacturers like it and say it will void the warranty on the engine. a couple of years back my dad enquired to ford about it and they said they did not support it. |
easy they add a higher content of bio fuel which some cars dont like

Still cheaper than a fail, and expensive tuning work though.
Just filled up in the Derby area at £1.29/litre - ouch!!  |
sorry thats pants the biggest reason diesels dont pass is silly old farts that drive round like miss daisy.... get it hot and give it a really good thrash to the govener till no shit comes out the back, then take it to the MOT station and it will pass...
