Hi all, probably the age old question. I have 200 litres of heating oil spare. Can I do a 50 / 50 mix with diesel and will she run without damage. Answers on a postcard? Thanks

apparently the td5 was originaly developed for the MOD so it would run on kerosene (ie aviation fuel) then as it was to reliant on electronics the MOD decided to not have the engine and stick with the 300tdi
dont know much about fuels as in differance between um, best to PM charlesY on here he's the td5 fuel guru

I would say no, on modern diesels the high pressure pumps are reknown for being fussy on fuels, best to stick with diesel and save yourself the £600+ it will cost to repair...

Not to mention the back duty calculated from the day you bought the vehicle, oh! and a hefty fine too.
