Hello Alex
Hello All
Thanks for all the advice in the past.
After a year of making Biodiesel and not being able to use it i
purchased a 1994 Discovery (at the Right price )
I wanted somthing after 1996 but couldnt afford it so 1994 is it.I
have checked for all the normal stuff eg cracked head ,transmission
etc and it all seems ok.only some bushes have to be changed and
tyres.
1. My question is about the fuel lines (what seems like hard
plastic of a unknow kind )and fuel system the two pumps. Dose any
one know what type of rubber is in the 1994 Landrover TDI 300 fuel
system.Is it safe to use 100% Biodiesel if not what parts should i
change???
The fuel lines and other fuel system parts will be resistant to
low-sulphur diesel and to biodiesel. You won't have problems, and
even in the highly unlikely event that you do have problems it won't
be sudden, you'll have enough warning to avoid a disaster.
Please see this previous message:
"If your BioD is properly made (i.e. a complete reaction) &, more importantly
well washed (typically 3 or 4 washes) I see no reason to fear pump failure
even in early pumps."

(I am slowly introducing biodiesl at around 5---10% so far )but i
dont want to go any higher till i get some advice about the fuel
lines etc.I am just cleaning out the system slowly.but dont want to
do any damage.
2. Also what is the effect of using a Petrol fuel filter but with a
mix of Diesel/Biodiesel is it safe????I am driving around with a 2nd
new landrover filter incase my filter gets blocked but i havent
found a in line filter for diesel so i am unsure if it is safe to us
a Petrol filter.
Safe enough, but how effective it will be depends on how fine it
filters. Preferably it should be the same screen as your final
filter. It doesn't have to be a Land Rover filter.
Best wishes
Keith
Thanks in advance for any advice
Alex.
