It's certain for my future. Further to Logs above, from what I've read in the erwin study bulletins, the normal golfs get an improved fuel heater for biodiesel overseas. I also recall some other problem that VW mentioned with PD and Bio, but it wasn't a major thing. I'll see if I can find it tonight. I figure with a few specific mods bio would be very usable, and that track is one I will go down in about 3-4 years when I own the car. Running a car on bio is the whole reason I bought the diesel, and plan to keep this awesome little car as fuel prices skyrocket in coming years. I wonder how my old GT Ford will be going then? Weekends probably!Quote:

In fact, I am rather keen to start a business importing those clever biodiesel units that are popping up all over the UK at the moment Drop your scraps in it everynight, plug it in, and top up your car each morning. About 2000 pounds, which is about a years fuel bill for me.....probably down to 9 months now!Quote:

So now I'm considering a 2yo Jetta Diesel, then convert to run on BIO or even doing a Gas/Diesel conversion.
Some one dig up the info for the conversion for me.
Need a business partner ??Quote:

diesel is diesel.... as long as I don't put bio diesel....it is no like petrol. You need to put premium unleaded otherwise no warranty...
I'll let you know in a month....took me 4 weeks before the next pump....
I wish I got spare tank. I could buy 1000l.....dump it at my front yard....:D
