Hi,
Is there anyone here running Biodiesel in their 80?
I have been contacted by someone who within 80 miles of a major overhaul of their fuel pump and new injectors has suffered quite a major engine failure and the garage that did the work are blaming it on the Biodiesel that he was running.
It seems like a couple of injectors melted and biodiesel leaked into the sump causing damage in the bottom end. The garage is blaming the biodiesel, but having run 100% biodiesel in my 80 with no problems at all (in fact it ran better than ever) I seriously doubt this is the problem, suspecting that they used inferior seals on the fuel pump and also may have fitted the wrong injectors.
I am trying to find others that have similar success running on Biodiesel that are willing to provide some form of confirmation so that the unfortunate owner can go back to the garage armed with a fist full of 'affidavits' to help in his compensation claim.
Regards
Julian
