    All ag diesel from march is about 7% supposedly bio-fuel, think to go high you need a conversion on fuel pump iirc, bout €800. Needs to be stored at either 15 or 20 deegres or oil seperates iirc

    Biodiesel is very aggressive on rubber parts that are not designed for it.
    Stuff that has been run on dinodiesel for years can very quickly break down used on biodiesel due to rubber lines failing seals going etc.
    You need to be very vigilant when changing.
