You could add it to a partially filled tank. I've found that a relatively small
amount of veggie oil makes a huge difference in the sound of a diesel engine. I
haven't tried in my TDI but in a 240D a quart of veggie oil in a full (or
nearly full) tank of diesel would substantially quiet the
I looked closer when I drove past again and it’s B20. I’ll pass I supposed. No
sense on tempting the VW gods.

In retrospect I wish I'd paid more attention to the fuel input when we stopped
but I'd just driven through NYC and was a little tired.
Google says the car has a 14.5 gallon tank and the car was reporting 30 miles
of range left when we finally refueled. Going through NYC with the low fuel
light

I had a 240D once where I drove around WA State, from Spokane to Vancouver
to Seattle and back to Spokane. Just over 1000 miles, on one tank.
Of course, it had a 20-gallon auxiliary fuel tank in the trunk! MPG was 23.5

Not approved and restricted are not the same thing. In 2003 we'd be talking
about an ALH or AHU engine like my '89 Jetta. Those do just fine on bio diesel,
I ran quite a bit through my '98. If it weren't for the tin-worm I'd still be
driving that car, it's my favorite.
The next generation PD
I’m not Curt and I’ve never owned a VW but I remember having a conversation
with someone around 2003 who told me that biodiesel was not approved for his
then new Jetta diesel.
Another reason to own an older diesel which has no such restrictions!

I buy most of my TDI parts from ID Parts, they're in state for me and are nice
folks.
We did a trip to PA last weekend where Angie was taking a Tai-Chi instructor
class. My 2015 Jetta TDI returned 51.5 mpg on the trip
