Chris posted back in 2006 about who would be willing to buy bio diesel in Melbourne's west - answer I WOULD !

I'm new to bio diesel - so be gentle.

I'm picking up my 1997 Landcruiser HZJ75RP later this week - driving it down from Sydney. It will see predominantly off road use and has 380K kms - all petro diesel. It has a 4.2 litre Toyota 1HZ engine in it.

I want to run it on BD or BD blend.

I've read here that fuel lines may need to be replaced. Are the fuel lines on a 1997 vehicle likely to be OK or a problem ?

For the drive down from Sydney, I was thinking of running it on BD but am concerned about fuel filter blockage - I won't have a spare with me as I will be travelling light. How quickly after starting to use BD will the fuel system clean out ?

Thanks for your words of advice. Looking forward to spending more time online with you all.

Peter.
