Subject: Running B100 in the Benz
Actually these are also questions that can be asked on list so others can
benefit from the answers. No question is too simple or "novice".
Nevertheless, that said; yes, the results are quite satisfying and when we
were returning from holidays where we ran B100 all the way up and then
slowly introduced dino diesel for two weeks of running around and part of
the trip back, and then when the tank got to below 1/4 we put in the 44
liters we had brought along of B100 which made the new mix about B80 (80
parts BD to 20 parts dino) and the effect was IMMEDIATE! The engine just
smoothed right out from that typical diesel chunking sound.
I have noticed no drop in performance whatsoever, and the mileage is the
same. Ran about the same temp and smoked a bit, but no more than with
dino. Difference is it actually smelled nice, kinda egg rolly :), only egg
rolls that stayed a little too long in the oil, Ha!
It is one of the great advantages of running BD in diesels, the ability to
mix and blend to whatever percentage or run 100% and back again without
the need to modify anything. The cleansing properties are not myth. I just
today changed a spin on fuel filter that had become clogged with gunk from
the BD's cleansing effect. I had the car 's valves adjusted and ALL
filters changed the day before leaving for holidays and that was the day
after labour day, Sept 06/04 and it was already time for a filter change
again. Not even two 1/2 months on a brand new Mercedes genuine part
filter. Now that's a cleaning !
Word to the wise though, have a couple spare filters already in the car
because when it craps on you it will be sudden :)
Do I qualify usind B100 a success ? A resouonding YES to that. And as soon
as I can I will be running it on B100 again and for as long as possible.
Darn cold is a pain and i am not yet fully set up to deal with it so that
is it for this year, unfortunately. Next year, Lord willing, I am going to
bve in an insulated building with a timer activated heater and also have
some WintronXC30 brought over fom England for the next winter. Wintron
XC30 is specifically designed for use with BD and keeps the pour point to
below -15C as is and they are working on another formula that will bring
the pour point down even further making it possible to run B100 year round
in Northern winters.There's a link to WintronXC30 on the JtF site under
the Biodiesel in Winter heading.
Hope this answers your questions satisfactorily and that you will be
confident in using BD in your vehicle(s). Just be sure to make it right
and of the highest qualilty and you will not have any worries with it.

Subject: hello
I'm curious about your car running on B100. Just want to know, except of
the cleaning action of BD, what can u telle about your car? Did it run
well? Was the engine cooler or hotter? Any power loss? Any fumes?
Was the use of BD a sucess?
