People make bio to avoide modifying their vehicle or if they can not run it on WVO. but if I am going to make bio and still buy dino diesel then I think it is not worth worrying about.

What do you guys think?
I would disagree with just about everything you have said (No offence)

two tank is not the 'Safest' Bio is safer as it is closer to the viscosity of the fluid that the IP was designed for.

People make bio for other reasons than you state. Mainly to show off that were smarter that you WVO guys.

There is definantly still as point to making bio even if you can only run blends. it restores the lubricity that ULSD doesn't have, it can cut your fuel bill dramatically ( remember diesel is $1.80 odd a litre it cost about $0.30 to make the same so thats $1.50 perlitre saving. so a 60 litre tank in a new TD ute 30% blend means you save $30 a tank) $30 a tank is still significant. better than a petrol 4c voucher anyway.

So i definantly see the point in making bio even if only running blends. And is WVO worthwile for new car buyers anyway they usually only keep them fo 2-3 years would void warranty etc etc.
ONE of the MANY good things about biodiesel is there is no modifications. It is not the ONLY good thing.
