Hi all
I about 150L of Aviation kero left over from blending in my 300D. I now have a 2008 Astra diesel (The manual version- better engine than the auto) and was wondering if anyone had had any experience using this fuel in a modern diesel.
From what I have read I understand that kero is thinner than diesel and therefore lubricates less. What i was thinking was to blend some bio in with it to increase the lubricity. The manual says no more than 5% bio but i reckon you could push this a bit higher. Of course I'm a little more cautious with a $23,000 Astra than I was with a $2,000 Merc!
Any comments appreciated,
Cheers
Liam
