mattD110td5x is quite new in here.
Should I blend? and when can I get it?

Hi All,

I have a relatively new Land rover with a td5. I know that the plumbing
is all ok as there are plenty of these in Europe running biodiesel.

But as I am new to this should I swap over to 100% Biodiesel straight up
or try 20% bio --> then 50% bio --> then 100% bio?

Or should I go straight to 100%?

I have heard that the biodiesel has a higher detergent action and
can shake loose deposits that may be left behind by fossil Diesel.
Is this true and should I change the fuel filter before I fill up?

I work in Balmain so Waterways at Rozelle would be a great place
to pick up a tank full.

Let me know when you are open for business and I'll wander down.

I'd be happy to run the fuel economy comparison, I have records that
go back a few years.

regards
Matthew
