I have a ford transit 2009, can you run it on biodeisel? or what alterations are needed to run the van on biodiesel?
yes
Doesn't the transit use a tdci with hydraulic tappets?
Just about any diesel vehicle will run on biodiesel.
Biodiesel, made from vegetation and algae, is used for powering vehicles and machinery instead of using diesel, which is a fossil fuel causing global warming.
Convert them to run on biodiesel.
Any diesel engine can run on quality biodiesel. Older engines even better. New engines can loose their warranty if you use biodiesel, so please check.
if it's the mk7 fiesta, then it should still be in warranty, the column will need greasing if its the mk7.
undo same as cartridge filter housing under engine,unscrew it and put new one in with o ring,torque it up ,cost £25 code OL600
Biodiesel
Because its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages. ULSD motors require expensive conversions to run on biodiesel (contrary to what seems to be popular belief, you don't just pump biodiesel into any ULSD motor without conversion), and it doesn't perform as well as ULSD #2 does.
Biodiesel most certainly does NOT ruin your engine. Most engine manufacturer in the world approves the use of biodiesel in their engines, unless of course your engine is not made to run on diesel fuel. Gasoline engines should not be ran on Biodiesel.Actually, if you don't change out your fuel pump, injectors, and fuel lines to accommodate the much thicker biodiesel fuel, it CAN ruin your engine.
