BioDiesel B30

Anyone using this in their HDi Pug?

 

There was a thread about this a while back. I don't use it in mine because
I read somewhere that, although it is fine in the older engines, there is
some doubt about using it in common rail diesels, of which the HDI is Pugs
version. However, I am sure many comments will get added to this thread.

I don't know which Pug engines are approved for running on Bio-D but I know the
2.0L auto 307 XSe HDi I bought in Nov 2006 is (engine DW10BTED4). It states in
the user handbook that B30 is ok. Unfortunately, I only have access to B20 so I
have been using that without problems.

 

According to a press release I found on the interweb, PSA have approved B30
for use in HDi engines. I believe my local Morrisons is supplying it, so I
might take a chance and try half a tank in my 53 307HDi DTurbo.

 

Referring back to my post, I should add that my 1999 406 was just about the
first HDi engine and Bio hadn't even been heard of then.

 

So if you put that in your tank Keith i will probly smell u over here
in addlestone lol lol

 

Especially if the "bio" part is cabbages, or even worse baked beans ;o)

 

or both together that would smell . was behind a van today and that was
running on cooking oil neat ,from addlestone to woking and he left a
smoke cloud behind him.

 

I daresay that Dick Strawbridge's Landrover would smell like a chippy
because in his programme "It Isn't Easy Being Green" he showed how he makes
his own bio-diesel with oil from the local fish and chip shops.
