B100 - what vehicles????
« on: April 18, 2015, 09:56:52 PM »
I appreciate that there are some manufacturers that state that biodiesel is acceptable as a blend (VAG group) but are there any new vehicles that the manufacturers state the use of B100 is OK. Obviously I'm talking commercial quality fuel and not home brew.

I know for a fact that most home brewed bio is of a higher quality then a lot of commercial stuff.

I'd never use commercial bio until I'd tested it.

As far as vehicles on b100 I'm not aware of any.

Bio Boy, Keep at it and don't be too critical about your fuel, get a few batches under your belt and it will improve a lot.
As Jamesrl was inferring there is a lot of commercial stuff atound that I wouldn't like to put in my vehicle.

The hand book of our PD Golf states that it's designed for 100% RME.

However, I remember flagging up somewhere on here a recent list from VW that seemed to rather back peddle on the statement.

The vw back pedalling seems to coincide with the introduction of the dpf. My 2004 seat altea handbook says ok for rsme biodiesel but later cars, with the dpf, say biodiesel not allowed.
Still forever scrabbling up the learning curve.
