"The below quote was cut and pasted from Biodieselnow Forum. Anybody know if we have a similar wording act in Australia. One under which the manufacturers cannot deny the warranty unless they can prove the damage was caused by - for example - biodiesel???
"This topic seems incomplete without a link to the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act, which many agree applies to biodiesel usage, but as far as I know, hasn't been tested in court yet.
The gist of it: OEM's cannot "blanket deny" warranty coverage simply for use of a product. They have to be able to prove specific damage as a result of using that product, and because ASTM spec biodiesel, used properly, cannot harm an engine, that would seem to be the loophole to these warranty statements."
