The point of using BioDiesel is that its better for the engine.

It lubricates the injection pump better than Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel.

Hence, engine should last longer and my money goes to a local firm rather than the middle east.

so, all those additives in normal diesel to improve burning and leep injectors clean etc, can be replaced by simple raw veg oil? or are the same additives added?

Id need to be pretty convinced if I was gonna put that in a car I was paying for.....

The main point about BioDiesel is its not raw veg oil. Adding that stuff will cause problems due to its viscosity. BioDiesel is waste veg oil that has had the glycerine removed by a process called 'Transesterification'.

A 5% blend of BioDiesel to ULSD has an EN950 rating as per 100% ULSD fuel and can be used in any engine. Studies have shown engines, injectors etc are cleaner than with ULSD.

Not experienced that myself, but I am driving a car that has a net CO2 emmision of zero. Can I therefore have a reduced car tax bracket Mr Chancellor???

I would not advise anyone who has doubts about the fuels use in their car to use it. It leaves more fuel available for my everyday transport

PS. If you travel to France and fill up with Diesel, you will be adding 5% BioDiesel without knowing!!

Thats all they sell. 100% is available from the pump in Germany as well!!

The word is spreading
