Also note that Warranty coverage is a very local issue (determined by
state here in the US). In California an end user cannot do anything
that voids their warranty. The waranty covers the materials and
workmanship. I.e. quality of the materials and how well it was put
together. So if there is a problem with your engine (or any device),
you are covered in California unless there is evidence that you are at
fault. Basically the manufacturer is guilty until proven innocent.
So the question is not does biodiesel void your warranty but does
the manufacturer claim that biodiesel is appropriate for your engine
at this point as far as I know none of the engine manufacturers
recommend B100 (I'd love to see evidence to the contrary!). However a
close friend of mine purchased an extended warranty that covered B100
in a VW Jetta from the Berkeley. CA Volkswagen dealership it was money
in the bank for them. He put many miles on it for over a year and did
nothing other than scheduled maintenance. He eventually sold it
because he needed something bigger.

Hello Chuck.
About Mercedes I know that it surely will. I also know that you most likely
won«t have to have warranty claims because of biodiesel. The essence of
MB:s biodiesel policy is that the plastic, rubber seals and hoses of the
fuel system may be affected by biodiesel. This goes for all passenger car
models. They«re saying that the rubber parts are not made from viton, which
they should be. But if they are made from nitrile, you may expect small
problems, if any.
