And thinking again of the VW twin-cam diesel, it doesn't actually use a common rail. IIRC each injector has its own pump driven off the inlet camshaft. Any idea how it would go with Bio?
Sly,

I am running 100% Biodiesel in my VW Caddy 1.9 L TDI. It runs very well.
Have a look at my Website and Forum for a lot more information.
