300tdi problems with bio-diesel

GUNNER9543 · Feb 7, 2012

Looking for a big bit of help. I have a 1995 300tdi 90 which I have been runnung on bio/diesel mix for moths. Recently I have been loosing power to the point of the the engine stalling, i have changed the fuel and air filter and then drained the fuel tank. I then refilled the tank with mineral diesel and everything ran fine, added in some bio and the engine started to struggle again slowly loosing power. Cleaned the tank out again and mineral diesel runs fine again. There are two other mates of mine using the same bio in a td5 and 200tdi rover and they have no problems, anyone got any ideas?

did you check the filter/sediment bowl thing on the rear chassis by the fuel tank?
