Re: [Biofuel] Kia Carnival an Biodiesel

[Zeke Yewdall]

Well, it should be the same as any other newer direct injection diesel.  Typically these don't have any trouble on high quaility biodiesel, but often have problems with lower quaility biodiesel (unwashed fuel, glycerin in the fuel, or incompletely reacted fuel).  I don't have any specific experience with the 2.9 liter Kia diesel, but I don't see that good quality biodiesel should cause any problems over petro-diesel.  It should be new enough that the lines and seals should be biodiesel compatible, although someone with experience with this particular engine can probably correct me.  Just remember to have an extra fuel filter on hand, as the biodiesel will clean out alot of crud in the fuel system if you've been using petro-diesel in it for a while.
