Yes, absolutely without hesitation. The trick is knowing the bio-diesel is OK as frankly the QA on it is going to be shaky at best unless produced commercially IMHO Edited to add: No disrespect to your brother Gus, its just that some of the problems may be caused by things in the bio invisible and undetectable to the small qty producer, thats my worry....

I'm led to believe that however good the QA is, biofuel contains much larger particles than a standard diesel fuel so it's not a case of IF it clogs your injectors, but WHEN.

I understand that Morrission diesel is 35% bio-diesel and they have a big disclaimer somewhere saying it is your responsibility to check your vehicle can run on it.

Fully agree, but most supermarkets have some bio-diesel in their diesel - not normally above 5% but even this could affect warranty work on some vehicles "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence. "TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you. |

It may have something to do with the change in performance/mpg that lots of folk on here comment on - especially when using supermarket fuel as opposed to Shell/BP/Esso etc "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence. "TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you. |

I would have thought that the disclaimer would have to be pretty big and bold otherwise it could lead to an unprecedented amount of litigation for any supermarket.
