I dont think TXII use the TDCI engine, i think they have a TDDi, there are no wires going to the injectors and the the workshop manual i have also states that if you need to bleed the fuel system, then you can "crack" open an injector and bleed it that way.

I even rang Mann and Overton in manchester and they told me not to use Bio diesel, most mechanics tell me not to use biodiesel but owners of ford transits with same engines swear by it.



your choice

but i know your ing pump is £1500, each injector £150 and labour is £20/hour

to save how much?

a 2.5di engine maybe, a 1.8/2.0/2.4 duratorq? - well i wouldnt


thats why i'm staying clear for the time being, are there any conversions we can make so that the pump/engine will accept bio diesel? i know a bloke who works for me just spent £1000 reconditioning his pump. This was not due to biodoesel but just went faulty.


best advice - dont touch it

you already use 5% bio as its in almost every pump diesel sold, try wringing more MPG out of driving your car first or change to a more economical motor
