Noticed that it is now 8% bio fuel diesel whereas the Rrs states not to use more than 5% bio fuel, any implications in using the Tesco juice?
 
N, any implications in using the Tesco juice?


apparently the acid in the apple juice dissolves the enamel on yer teeth. :)



if there were any major issues they wouldnt sell the stuff.....youd get more sensible responses if you said what engine you were feedin it to.

RR S 2.7Tdv6 engine,

Perhaps LR have not updated their handbooks etc in line with greater bio fuel inclusion in forecourt fuels or is it Tesco trying to make a fast buck, what are other supermarket fuels on?

Does it really make much difference in the long term to the wear and tear on the engine?
 
Isnt it EU law that pump drizzle has to have a 7% bio minimum ? And did it not contain even 3% under the labour admin but now moved into line with our lovely shiney "new" lot ? AS a massively broad generlisation ?

I think the vehicle maker rec's were made as a cover all against litigation when bio was being made in a much less regulated and (ahem !) refined manner . Whereas now , "big-oil inc" are in on the manufacture. As I understood it.

A bigger issue is the increasing algal infestation of mineral/bio pump fuel. Way back when I was working in a indy LR place,10 plus years ago, the boss showed me this fuel conditioner that got rid of the algae......"what algae?" says I, never having heard or seen such. Now , if we leave our tractors or diggers more than a week unused there is such a build up that the engines wont run. Even using SolTron additive we get it to a lesser extent . I havent noticed it in engines run with WVO/petrol mix used with the drizzle,ad hoc. Strange, that .

Another thread, maybe , as this is a connected issue but not strictly the OPs point.
 
John....engage reading gear before typing mate ! The point is, you have no choice, bio is in the diesel you buy at the pump whether you ask for it or not.Its not like in the US with #1 and #2 diesel fuel.....its an EU directive that regular, pump sold diesel must contain an element of bio and it is not needed to be signposted as such. The same is going on with petrol/gasoline in the US, my father in law tells me. He is a fire company chief and they have to buy "machine gas" to get non ethanol-added fuel, as the ethanol/water thing buggers up the alloy parts.He just had to get a new generator for the house since the added ethanol in pump gas/petrol/RUG whathaveyou had caused the demise of the existing one.
