Vehicle warranty specifications for commercial
The usage of biodiesel in commercial vehicles as apposed to mineral diesel is clearly increasing. So much so, the commercial vehicle manufacturers are now allowing the consumption of biofuel.
Here, you will find most of the vehicle specifications that we have obtained from the commercial vehicle manufacturers. As this is a continual process, please let us know if you have a specific requirement, so that we can help obtain it on your behalf, which will also benefit others.
Biofuel Express only recommends the supply and usage of EN14214 quality recognised fuels, the proposed European standard. Other fuels are available in the market, but may cause problems in cold temperatures or cause damage to mechanical parts. We always recommend you to check with your vehicle manufacture, before start using blends above 5 % biodiesel.
Our current information are based on some of the main commercial vehicle manufactures with existing warranties for up to 100% biodiesel usage includes:
