Hello Keith
I wasn't being at all combative, but it seems you are.
It was not my intention to be combative to you. I tried to use arguments,
and point on the controversy between what I know works and what some studies
says don«t work. I don«t invent them, and tried to give you some examples.
So at the end of the day, the choice is yours. If you choose to run BD
in a PD TDI, more power to you. Just be aware that if you have an
injector failure down the road, your dealership *may* blame the BD and
refuse to cover it.
Cheers.

Furthermore, I believe that any commercial

comment.

I've used b10, b20, b30, b50,b80 all approximate percentages and with zero
problems in my 96 passat tdi. If you go to www.tdiclub.com you will find
many many tdi owners (older and new vehicles) using b100 for years with no
problems.
No one is disputing that pre-2004 TDIs run BD just fine.
JH,
Since 2004 VW models in Europe are certified by VW for use with RME, the
question should not be about blanket use of biodiesel. Keith once posted
effects of different feed stock on biodiesel and this is maybe a question.
