Looking for somewhere in Ireland that adheres to the ASTM PS121 or DIN 51606 standard for production of Biodiesel. Most companies in rieland do it to EN590.Standards are as below.

[FONT=arial,helvetica]EN590 (actually EN590:2000) describes the physical properties that all diesel fuel must meet if it is to be sold in the EU, Czech Republic, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland. It allows the blending of up to 5% Biodiesel with 'normal' DERV - a 95/5 mix. In some countries such as France, all diesel sold routinely contains this 95/5 mix.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica]DIN 51606 is a German standard for Biodiesel, is considered to be the highest standard currently existing, and is regarded by almost all vehicle manufacturers as evidence of compliance with the strictest standards for diesel fuels. The vast majority of Biodiesel produced commercially meets or exceeds this standard.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica]EN14214 EN14214 is the standard for biodiesel now having recently been finalized by the European Standards organisation CEN. It is broadly based on DIN 51606.[/FONT]

I have a manufacturers confirmation that the engine can be used with Biodiesel striaght away as long as its DIN 51606 standard. Tried a few places but coming up short and SEI have still to get back to me.If i could find a place that adheres to EN14214 it would be a start.

Any help would be great.
Cheers Nukem
