    Ah but it is much more forward thinking by Landrover than the greenies, crops should be used for feeding people not cars.....................
    The english have finally worked this out and are cutting back on biofuel production.

    Any ideas on a blend maybe, say 50% bio.

    i wouldn't even attemp it

    a guy brought his RR (i think it was a RR) into our local garage with all sorts of problems,

    found out when he had been filling up with diesel that it was infact bio even though the garage never stated that clearly.

    cost him thousands in repairs, as the bio had made all the seals with in the fuel system swell and i believe it did something else funky too but cant remember now.

    no, its potentially bad carma in any modern common rail injected engine and its got nothing to do with the seals, Ive done several posts on the subject, If you have no joy on them hit me up and I'll have a go at doing it again for you.


    to summate

    If you get perfect bio all the time and run nothing else that might contaminate the system all good. IF you get contamination the bio doesnt have the head room in its specifications to deal with the potential results of the contamination.The end result is all bad.

    well i stand corrected then but i was told when they pulled it apart the seals had swollen causing injectors to leak etc etc
