Yes it was mentioned earlier but could easily have been overlooked.

Not quite Dave! Biodiesel contains ethanol, and ethanol as we all know is hygroscopic ....... There has been an increase in CRD component failure, AFTER bio diesel was added to fuel. But as this is a free world, some will take advise from highly experienced contributors to this forum such as YF and others rather choose the ostrich approach. I for one have been using 2sO since 1974 and have never lost an engine. Some of my cars I drove to over 500'000km and one to over 1 Mio km here in SA With kind regards DiscoGeorge 1998 Disco1 ES 300Tdi with twin TrueTracs 2005 Disco3 TDV6 S And some more serious stuff |

Hi npinks you guys still don't get it! Bio fuel is primarily being added to diesel to appease the environmental lobby. It has little to do with "increasing lubrication". Remember its not the raps seed oil that is stuffing up the CRD components, it is mainly the water attracted by the ethanol in the bio diesel. You guys should start taking YF more serious. It can save you a lot of money in the long run. Of the counter arguments in this thread, there is not a single one that has impressed me as being well researched or founded on actual facts.

It is quite a sad state that one can sink so low and use such despicable language - shame on you! With kind regards

Seems to me that he is giving us the benefit of his experience, those who do not appreciate it do not need to take the advice, no need to get shirty with the guy. The 2 guys I most rust with my Landrovers have both been trained on LRs in South Africa, their knowledge goes way beyond that of young whizz kids in a Franchaise outlet.

Thanks Expencelander 37 years of restoring classic cars leave a trail of knowledge, it was hard earned. We also have these so-called experts here in SA who suplant knowledge with cockiness. That doesn't worry me anymore. But I refuse to interact with persons who lack the most basic interpersonal skills With kind regards DiscoGeorge 1998 Disco1 ES 300Tdi with twin TrueTracs 2005 Disco3 TDV6 S And some more serious stuff |

Guys, let's keep the thread clean, as it is read (and linked to) by many people, even outside the FL2 community.
