Ive been going through all of my tech info for my Kubota engines at work and cant find any info regarding Bio Diesel so I rang our distributor as well as another machine manufacture that use Kubota engines in their machines and I got a deffinately NO to Bio.

Considering that they are the most basic of engines, I cant work out why, has any of the experts in here got any answers for me or am I not going to be able to use Bio when our supplier starts bringing it is in the next few months.

read up on some of the other bio in modern engines threads...

in a nutshell providing the bio is top notch use it at will in a mechanically injected engine that doesnt have unit injectors.

Unit injectors start to push serious injection pressures at which the lubricity of bio can break down if its not micky mouse and contaminates that it pics up can become a big headache.
