Question for you guys.

A petrol station i passed in Liverpool yesterday was selling Bio Diesel for 79p per litre, never seen it before.
Is this acceptable to put into a TD4 as a long term alternative to standard Diesel ?

I have used Bio-diesel in my freelander since I bought it 4 months ago. At first I used 100% bio, but now use 50% and it runs as sweet as can be. I still have the problem of power loss at 72 mph, but I don't think that has anything to do with the bio diesel.
