Bio diesel?

Where can you get this at the pump?

Yeah, I'd like to know too.
Anyone know of any Dublin garages selling it?

mukki

there is a shop in athboy, co meath (about 30mins from blanchardstown that is selling bio for 95c a liter) make sure your not a common rail, it was crap in mine

nah then its bad quality bio diesel
It should run BETTER in ANY engine than diesel if made properly

regardless of the injection system being indirect, direct or common rail


One thing Im afraid of it bio is very new here and I dont know if we have quality control on the fuel? Do we?
If its made correctly its better than diesel because it has better lubricating qualities than normal diesel and actually increases engine life.

In fact in some countries they add 5% bio to ultra low sulphur diesel to compensate for the loss of lubrication that occurs in the process of removing the sulphur from the fuel.

Surely you can get this somewhere in Dublin?

Biodiesel’s superior lubricating properties can reduce wear
in diesel engines. Bench scale tests have shown that 1%
biodiesel can improve the lubricity of diesel fuel by as
much as 65%.
The lubricity of biodiesel will become increasingly important because EPA regulations will require the use
of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels in all U.S. highway diesel
engines by 2006. Unfortunately, ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuels can have poor lubricating properties. Low levels of
biodiesel used as a lubricity additive can help solve this
problem.
