I ran my 2006 Fiesta 1.4Tdci on Morrisons fuel stations' B30 biodiesel and it ran superbly and quietly. Then I took it for an MOT and they revved the proverbials off it for the smoke test. Then they handed it back to me with the injectors knocking like a military band and smoke coming off the back of the engine. The seats had been blown off the injectors! The garage blamed it on my having used bio-diesel and charged me £150 for cleaning off the carbonisation and fitting new seals... But a contributor to another forum tells me that the 1.4tdci's injector seals are known to be a weak point and would have needed changing at some point anyway... That's my story!

What cars run on virgin oil?
There's someone crushing virgins and extracting their oil?? I assume you mean Virgin *Olive Oil,* and no cars run on any bio-oil, but we do use oils to make bio-diesel. Any vehicle that normal runs on diesel can be made to run on bio-diesel, but seeing as there are very few diesel engine cars on the road as is, I'm finding that it's very hard to find a car that runs on bio-diesel. Mostly, it seems, buses are getting the conversion.

Will a diesel generator run on bio-diesel without any issues?
In most cases, diesel generators can run on bio-diesel without any major issues. Bio-diesel is a renewable and cleaner-burning alternative to regular diesel fuel, which is typically derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. However, it is important to note that not all diesel generators are compatible with bio-diesel, especially older models. Before switching to bio-diesel, it is recommended to check the manufacturer's guidelines or consult with a qualified technician to confirm if your specific diesel generator is compatible. It's also worth noting that depending on the blend and quality of bio-diesel used, there may be slight differences in performance and maintenance requirements. For example, some bio-diesel blends have a higher viscosity which may require preheating systems in colder climates. It is always advisable to follow manufacturer recommendations and perform regular maintenance checks when using bio-diesel fuel in your diesel generator. Overall, with the appropriate precautions and care, a diesel generator should be able to run on bio-diesel without major issues.
Will my 2008 GMC 2500 series Diesel truck run on Biodiesel or are modifications required prior to being able to use and if so what modifications are required?
To modify a vehicle to run on bio diesel when it already uses diesel is a fairly simple process. All you should need is a hose kit that is compatible with bio diesel. The bio diesel tends to eat up factory hoses. An Auto parts store should be able to give you what you need if you go ask them your specific question.

Can a Volvo v40 1997 year be run on biodiesel?
Hi yes you can run your car on bio diesel and it doesn't affect the performance of the car. we have a Volvo v40 1999 & v40 2001 running on 100% bio diesel. But you will have change your fuel filter once you have done 200 miles which cost about £7 for replacement part and take 10 mins to change and you can use a oil filtyer remover tool to get it off. it is located under the bonnet on the passengers side at the back at the botttom screwed on side ways and it sshould be white in colour. as the bio diesel will break down the residue left from normal diesel in the fuel filter which could block the fuel pipes and injectors. That's all you will need todo to run your car on 100% bio diesel. Hope this helps
