advice on bio

[lyndbo]

just a little advice on bio,my 2.3 ran great on it,but! and i mean but!!!!!!,the 2.8 is a different matter.it cost me £208 last week because i broke down.the bio itself wasn't flowing easy through the system due to what i can describe as shavings of congealed bio.the garage had to attach a electric pump to get the stuff flowing.it also clogged the fuel pump.so if your thinking of using bio then think twice,or try a bio additive to stop it congealing.

Good sound advise there lyndbo

but ..like we have said before ........."we told you so"

That will always happen in colder weather, it turns to Fat.
On other forums I've read that they add white spirit to the bio, then put into the tank, the ratio of bio/diesel has to be reduced (more diesel) in winter, and fuel pre-heaters are needed too....but unless these are done correctly, it will always clog in winter.......just think what lies in the bottom of the tank...
