better still start adding pomdme to the fuel instead of that awful biodiesel and the emissions would be even better :-k

you want to hope you never get a tank of bio over 5%/bio cos just as "rapeseed diesel" was going to reduce diesel imports along came Hdi/High Pressure/Common rail diesels that cant use bio over 5%, also they took the sulphur out and replaced it with silicon, whooops, thats £2500 for a new high pressure pump + programming and £2500 for 4 injectors

Wind back to the 2.5di transit banana engine of Pug ET70 and you could chuck WVO in and a bit of petrol and happy days
