changing filters

I have run quite a few tanks of biodiesel premium in my HJ75 troopy with 2H motor and have changed fuel filter twice in 6000 k's , not because it needed it , but just did it expecting to find , especially the first time , it full of gunk from running ordinary diesel for so long , but the filter was clean as a whistle both times . The only difference I have found , it was little bit harder to start in the winter , but now is back to normal as we are moving into spring . Most likely things would be different if I was using B100 , and that would have shifted the gunk that has built up over time in the tanks .

Just an observation I am happy running Biodiesel Premium

cheers

Re: changing filters

Peter can I ask are you sourcing your Biodiesel from a retailer or a brewer?

Just out of intrest tring to work out if ne people come on board were they are sourcing retail supplies from so we can tell the world and be supportive of retailers that are doing the rite thing.

Hi and welcome Pete,
For those of us who don't live within the enlightened realm of the SAFF network, can you (if you know) tell us what "Biodiesel Premium" is please?
ie Is it 5% bio (B5) or what? Also whose petro-diesel are they mixed with?

thanks,

Re: changing filters

Now that is a retailer that is UP there with the best

THATS what we should be pushing for out of people like VP and FF!
