used biodiesel in my volkswagen TDI for about 100000km here in germany.
then all of a sudden, my diesel-pump pi##ed off from one moment to the other. most of the seals worn.
they have told me before, that biodiesel has been developed to be a detergent,so i was warned but couldn't believe it.
nevertheless the car was allowed by volkswagen to drive with biodiesel,they didn't spend a penny on the replacement of the pump. cost: about 2000$
when using biodiesel in the car, i had to replace the fuel-filter at least twice as much as with diesel.
if there was a bargain in biodiesel, this would have been eaten by the filters alone. not to mention the pump.
no biodiesel anymore.
maybe veg-oil one day.
but methyl-esther? no way anymore !!!!!
