does anyone run their TX on this?
what are the long term effects??

i assume you mean proper biodiesel not reclaimed chip shop oil?

Nissan's run on it great... but it has to be made properly..... if it is made badly it will force any vehicle off the road...... will you be making your own....?

it's a TX II, I used it a few times & had no problems but every mechanic i speak to tellls me not to...

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.

Biodiesel can be used in pure form (B100) or may be blended with petroleum diesel at any concentration in most injection pump diesel engines.

New extreme high pressure (29,000 psi) common rail engines have strict factory limits of B5 or B20 depending on manufacturer.

Biodiesel has different solvent properties than petrodiesel, and will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles (mostly vehicles manufactured before 1992), although these tend to wear out naturally and most likely will have already been replaced with FKM, which is nonreactive to biodiesel.

Biodiesel has been known to break down deposits of residue in the fuel lines where petrodiesel has been used.

As a result, fuel filters may become clogged with particulates if a quick transition to pure biodiesel is made. Therefore, it is recommended to change the fuel filters on engines and heaters shortly after first switching to a biodiesel blend.

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

This was not due to biodoesel but just went faulty.
