Providing you have removed excess methanol, (whoever doesn't wash thier Bio is a fool) you can run on it as long as you like? :clap2:

Update...nearly five months into running the l322 on bio, absolutely no problems. Put in £20 worth of diesel with 25 litres of bio each week- runs lovely! So I have been running a RR for £20 a week on fuel!

Thanks for the update


I'm still running on just about anything I get my hands on lol

only recent problem was an increased leak from the FIP but that was dripping before I switched to cheap fuels and once you have access, the job of changing the seals it's hard - see my other thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/fuel-pump-203192.html

No doubt the anti Bio / Veg oil / Black diesel brigade will tell you that the seal deteriorated faster once I switched, and really to be honest - I don't care!! as I would of needed to change it sooner or later and spilling free fat on the floor is better than spilling £1.40 a litre Diesel!!

So 400 miles (min) per week running on full bio or straight veg oil with 12% petrol and not a single problem to report
