[Peugeot-L] Re: Biodiesel & the 2.5TD

I've run quite a bit of biodiesel through a number of different vehicles over the last 3 years, and I've always had better performance blending the biodiesel with some petro-diesel. 2/3 bio, 1/3 petro is my preferred blend, but I'll go 1:1 when the temperature is in the 30s at night. Your climate may dictate your blend, but I would at least introduce biodiesel slowly, and note the results. I have a 2.3l TD, so my car is slightly different than yours, but you may find that the only rubber fuel lines are the return lines between injectors- I think they're about 3/16" ID. Mine have softened over the last 7 months of biodiesel use, but I haven't replaced them yet. I did have to clamp the ends where they fit onto the injectors. The fuel filter should be changed after a couple tanks of biodiesel. I admit, I haven't changed mine yet (7 months of biodiesel use). Performance doesn't seem to have changed- it's still slow. Good luck, these cars like the veggie oil. Pay attention to the gel point and cold filter plugging point of the biodiesel you're using, if you're in an area that gets cold. Anti-gel for diesel doesn't reliably work on biodiesel.

  Diesel. I would like to start running B100 in the car soon. Can you tell me the modifications that you made to run B100? I'm interested in measurements of fuel lines that need to be replaced, when to change the lines and fuel filters and anything else to look out for.
