....
Deisel engines are designed to run on this stuff but it depends on the level of filtering that has been done to it. ... I was jawing with the guy at the counter of the local injector pump specialists a couple of months ago and he claimed that bio-diesel was causing pump failures. His assertion was that regular diesel has lubricants added to it and that even commercially available bio-diesel doesn't and that this resulted in much more serious pump wear. I don't really have any idea how true that is though he did a good looking job of rebuilding the pump so I guess he isn't a total wacko... Maybe someone in the group knows more about this and if there are any useful additives (I'm guessing detergent and lubricant) that you might want to think about... -- Tom. |
