Paraffinic (HVO) and recent Diesel engine

Dhenalau · 2022-01-29 10:57:14

Hi, I bought a VW TDI last year and I found this news recently: Wondering about the plus and cons of Paraffinic diesel fuels (Found some stories about clogged filters) And where to find it in Ireland as it does not seem to be widely advertised. Thanks

I'm not quite sure, but is this the B100 diesel.
It's sold in some scandanavian countries.
The petrol station chain Neste sell it.

It's a lot more expensive than regular diesel fuel.

Looks like you can get HVO and B20 from Inver (At a premium... a tax break would help):
