Speedy Hire are starting to stock biodiesel, currently at £0.80p/l.
Not sure if its inc or ex vat, but if you need to add vat on top its still only 94p/l
ohhhhh, not bad for a big company
From what ive read on forums, after your first few tankfulls, you need to change your fuel filter, as the bio part cleans a load of crap out the engine.
After that, your fine.
Its because its a good solvent, it cleans the muck from the system and you may need to change the filter depending on the age of your vehicle.
You will need to change the filter more regularly depending on how well the stuff is made.
Anyone who tries to tell you it will damage the engine as it has less lubricity than diesel is talking absolute bullsh*t.
Bio is ADDED to low sulphur diesel to improve its lubricity
Ive been running cars on it before I went SVO for about 220,000 miles or so in total. Been using it for 11 years

"only" 94p/l? Jesus, could get Dino Diesel for less than that last year.
veg oil is 49p/litre and below
bio works on common rail cars yea?
i get confused between veg oil and bio diesel

77p/l in my local asda.
Bio works on anything
It all depends on how well it is made though, if it is badly made, it will wreck rings round it.
If it is properly made, it is a better fuel than diesel

So where do you buy it from?
could this be used in say a 3.0 TD6 range rover? and is there any restrictions on use like for commercial only? like marine or red diesel?
nope, for that price the tax will have had the tax paid on it all ready, so its good foe anyone/anything :)
tho... its even better when you know someone who makes it and sells it by the IBC.. (1000litres)
not that Im sugesting you could buy one legit so you have some paperwork.. then buy the next ones for cash tax free :o
I need to call them tomorrow and see what their lead time is if my local store doesnt stock it.
Im running my just into double figures mpg 4x4 on fumes :S
ill have to look into this sounds interesting, hopefully its good stuff.
