The answer to this question is YES you can.
IF IT RUNS ON DIESEL IT RUNS BETTER ON BIODIESEL!!
• Any diesel vehicle or diesel engine can run using biodiesel
and NO modification is required to modern day cars, vans or
trucks (you can also use biodiesel in boats, boilers, generators
and heaters).
• Biodiesel will prolong the life of your engine as it is very
lubricious and even used in very low mix percentages it can
reduce engine wear substantially.
• The transition is seamless; you simply use biodiesel as a
replacement or in addition to your standard fuel. It can be
used in its pure form (B100) or blended with fossil diesel in
any percentage.
• The price you pay includes the applicable excise duty and
VAT so you can also rest assured you are driving perfectly legally.
There are a couple of points to note.
Biodiesel is very good at cleaning your engine and removing
the build up of resins and deposits that have built up with
standard diesel usage so you may notice a reduction in performance
after driving 200 miles or so this is because the biodiesel
will have dissolved the resins and deposits in your fuel tank
and fuel pipes and deposited these in your fuel filter, all
you need do is change your filter (a very minor and inexpensive
job) and you can now run on biodiesel for ever more.
If your vehicle is very old i.e. over 13 years old and your
fuel pipes are made of rubber you will need to change these
to modern polythene pipes to avoid the rubber breaking down
with the biodiesel use (all modern diesel vehicles have polythene
pipes fitted as standard).
If you revert to normal diesel use and then back to biodiesel
you may need to change your fuel filter again.
