| Re: '94 Land Rover using Biodiesel I'd just check on the composition of your fuel lines and seals. DON'T expect to get a sensible answer from Land Rover on this!!! I've asked them the same question a few years back and they spent all their time telling me that their engine was "too highly tuned" for biodiesel and were completely unable to answer a direct question about the materials that they used. You'd be better off leaving out the word "biodiesel" altogether and just asking them if the components in your car are suitable for the ULSD which has now been mandated in Australia, or whether you will need to change out any components, hoses, or seals for synthetic ones in time. Have a look at this thread for more info on this. You will discover, if you have not already done so that vehicle manufacturers spend more time making stuff up to cover their arses than they do actually researching stuff that their customers are asking them. The sad part is, that most of us still view them as the "experts".
