I was thinking....would it not be a good idea to create a thread to catalogue all those vehicles that run well on B100. Strictly using the experiences of those on this site making good quality Bio?
Likewise a thread cataloging those vehicles that experience has demonstrated don't like B100?
It would make sense to have a quick go to thread that is informative and factual.
It must be better than having hundreds of different threads for individual marques!!!

B100 should work in any diesel.
Ive read some about dpf filters, but they're outside my age group.
On the other end, there are some issues with rubber seals on older cars, but, again, just making a list will, I suspect, run to every diesel car anyone here has ever driven - so won't be of much use.
Possibly a better list might be as to specific issues caused by b100, but then you're back to the usual forum chit-chat!

I was of the opinion that most modern diesels will not entertain B100 given there fuel sensors picking up what it thinks is poor quality fuel that is unbeknown to it in actual fact quality biodiesel. Also common rail diesels cause concern and so do certain pumps due to the seal materials used. That is why, using experiences of those on this forum it would be useful to identify which vehicles have no problems running B100. I think most will run on varying blends but not B100.

And there is already one on the Wiki
