Can I use biodiesel?

In one word... Yes!...

At blends from B5 up to B30, biodiesel is easy to use. No new equipment and no modifications to existing equipment are necessary. Simply treat it as though it were ordinary mineral diesel. You just need to be aware of the handling characteristics of the fuel particularly if using it in higher concentration blends above B30.

What the engine manufactures say

Manufacturers provide warranties on their products against failure, where such failure is directly attributable to their own faulty materials or workmanship. Using any fuel, whether it is regular diesel or biodiesel does not in itself affect the engine manufacturers warranty.

All private and commercial vehicle manufacturers have approved the B5 (5%) biodiesel blend within mineral diesel.

Manufacturers such as Mercedes in their BR 300, 400, 500 and 900 series engines, DAF in their LF, CF and XF Models, Scania and MAN Trucks, Peugeot Citroen Group have all approved certain models and engine types to use with B30 - B100 biodiesel. Other manufacturers have adopted different positions regarding the use of biodiesel and we are able to help with identifying the suitability of a particular vehicle or engine type.

Using biodiesel as a B5 blend

Biodiesel as a 5% blend in regular fossil diesel is fully accepted within the EN590 diesel specification.

Using pure biodiesel as B100

We recommend that operators consider converting to B100 (the 100% pure biodiesel grade) in areas where the temperature do not go below minus 20 degrees (current recommendations).
