hi does anybody run there car on bio-diesel? ive been offered bio-diesel at 85 pence per litre which is alot cheaper than an the petrol station im just bit concerned how my car will perform using it and will it damage the car
the reason why they brought in the 2500 litre exception was because they cannot police it, so unlikely to change that rule for sometime.betides take a look at LPG, I am sure the market for this stuff is greater than the market for the home brew stuff, and as yet its still taxed much much lighter than the hardcore stuff.So if anything was going to become a target one would assume this would.Philspadders said:The problem was that the guy was making loads and selling it.
It will not be long before the tax rules change as the chancellor needs every penny he can get his hands on.
morrisons if i recall correctly started to use a 7% bio mix in there diesel, which they then withdraw. Your peugeot will be fine,all regular diesel has about a 5% mix of Bio and has had so for a few years, and 5 or 7 or even a 10% mix is fine and car manufacturers have to comply with this. when they say do not use BIO fuel it means 100% Bio.Icemaker said:our local morrisons started to sell bio diesel at the pump but they removed it within 2 months saying that they had received many complaints, i was tempted after seeing it at the pump and contacted ford to see if the galaxy i had at the time would be ok it was a 2007 new style 2.0 diesel, ford said it would be ok with 5% and no more which as has already been said is pretty much what pump diesel is anyway.
the thing that worries me is i now have a ford transit with the psa derived 2.2 tdci 140 diesel fitted and it clearly states on the pump cover "do not use bio diesel" if all pump diesel has 5% bio in it then how do you avoid it.
