    Vehicles running on Biodiesel - Vehicles for addition to the stickied post.

    We have a similar thread on the WVO Forum where vehicles people have converted to use WVO are listed.

    I felt it was time to create a similar sticky on the Using Biodiesel Forum

    Well, Here it is:Here it is:

    If you have a diesel vehicle which you operate on biodiesel (or blends above B30), please provide the following information for addition to the above sticky.
    Make/Model ; Year ; Engine (Common Rail?); Distance / Time; Blend ratio; Issues; Member (optional).

    I will check this thread at every login to ensure that the lists are populated promptly with your information.


    As I add vehicles which are similar to the entries in Blue, in the lists, I will remove the Blue entries. Eventually, only entries in Black will be in the list.

    If you wish to update the entry for your vehicle(s), please post here with the updated information.

    Regards,
    Tony
    Over to you.

            Re: Vehicles running on Biodiesel - Vehicles for addition to the stickied post.

            Nissan Patrol GQ TD42 89 Turbo, 2 years on BD100 and 28000km, sold yesterday with a total of 235000km on the clock. rotary pump, only one hard to start (failure to run) after a below 5deg night and an early morning start with Frytol Bio let it sit for an hour and no worries

            Nissan Patrol GQ TD42 91 stole turbo from the 89 model one above, 13000km on BD100, has a total of 320000km on the clock, rotary pump

            old mans Pajero 2.8 turbo/inter cooled, two years on Bio BD100 28000km with heaps of problems (IP related), IP is in for a rebuild now and diesel mechanic blames Bio but it had the problem before bio was used so??? I am amazed at how long it kept going before the cold mornings got to it haha

                hi Tony
                the entry on the sticky is incorrect


                Toyota estima (skinny jap tarago) 1994 3L turbo intercooled engine, rotary pump b100 8 months 10 000km, loss of power due to blocked fuel filter. speedo 250 000kms

                1994 toyota estima (skinny jap tarago) 3ct turbo intercooled engine, rotary pump b100 8 months 10 000km, loss of power due to blocked fuel filter.
                speedo 250 000kms

                the 3ct is the engine type not size, it is in fact a 2.2 liter engine which is quite different to a hilux engine. It more like a diesel corolla engine .just to stop any confusion
                thanks

                  98 Mazda bravo 2.5 non turbo, 120 000 km on B100, 3-4 years,
                  odometer 240 000 km
                  Doing well, except in winter when I need to add about 40% dino.
                  05 Mercedes vito 2.1 turbo computer controlled plastic engine, 20 000 km on B100, 7months, odometer 120 000 km
                  Does well, except in winter, goes well on 40% as above. Very economical 900+ km on 80L

                          Hi Tony Great idea BucknBeth 1997 300tdi landrover 2.5 turbo intercooled non common rail. 120,000k on BD80 winter and BD100 summer produced from mostly lard. In winter use top 500lts of 1000ltr container to use lighter oil. Had injector pump rebuilt at 200,000k (100,oook on bio) purley as a maintainance item. no probs very clean. had all viton seals fitted. Extra fuel filter fitted. Drain fuel tanks and flush each year to remove water/rust. rubber fuel lines replaced with viton. Small 100% fossil diesel tank fitted for inland winter trips as lard bio clouds early (depending on blend)

                          1995 Mitsubishi Delica 2.8 intercooled turbo non common rail. 53.000k bio same profile as above. Most old Delica's need a pump rebuild by now. Had mine done when purchased and no probs so far. Extra fuel filter fitted and wonder if a small fuel boost pump would help as this car drops perfomance when 2nd filter partially full

                            1998 Hilux 3ltr using B100 for 4 years and over 70000km. No issues except froze fuel in fuel line last winter in a frosty gully, by 10am it was a goer again. No clogged filters, ever!!
                            I want to know if anyone is running a Hyundai Terracan CRDI(Common Rail deisel) on bio and at what ratio?
