Title: Bio diesel
Post by: pabinlove on February 06, 2014, 10:02:16 AM
Hi everybody being a long time since I posted on here. A friend of mine has just bought a Ford Galaxy. And has mentioned biodiesel and what I thought. To be honest it never entered my head. So I thought I'd ask a question on here what you all thought about biodiesel and will it hurt the car overtime or  instantly. I have never looked into it so I do not know.
Your thoughts and answers I mostly appreciated. Many thanks.

Everyone will have their own opinion
on this one.
My friend ruined his peuguot
after going biodiesel.
Another one runs an old LDV campervan
and swears by it.
There is 7% bio in ordinary diesel
from the pump
recently I ran Galaxy on sainsbury diesel
for 1200 miles it got more sluggish,
Running it now on a second tank of BP Ultimate
Definite improvement!!
So for me Iti s a NO.

Tony

Cheers for the reply. As I said never thought about it till the other day I'm not sure if I would risk my car. It's our life line and only thinking oh it's cheaper as I do 250 miles a week to work and back. It sounds to good to be true.
