[biofuel] suitability of fuel injection sytems for biofuel?
Hello All I am looking for a an early 90's diesel volkswagon to run biofuel in and am finding that most models for sale have turbo fuel injected motors (TDI). Does anyone have any info on the compatability of such engine systems with biofuel (the injectors clog for example)? Is there any difference between older (pre TDI) and later injection systems. thanks Mike Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~--> Buy Remanufactured Ink Cartridges & Refill Kits at MyInks.com for: HP $8-20.

hey mike! biodiesel should work fine in ur volkswagon, since its made to run on diesel with a tdi anyways. you may have some trouble as cold weather sets in, raising the temp of combustion. a heating wire and or directing air intake thru the manafold should fix that. this can be fixed at most dealership garages or anyplace that deals with tractors and other diesel engines. also, since its an older car, have a shop-tech check that all ur seals and stuff are rubber-free! the biodiesel will corrode rubber like nobody's business. hope this helps, and lemme know how it goes. good luck! ---beth--- - Do you Yahoo!?

>ur seals and stuff are rubber-free! the biodiesel will corrode >rubber like nobody's business. Are you sure about that? It might, and also it might not, but it won't do it "like nobody's business" - unless you don't wash the biodiesel, in which case it's not the biodiesel that's rotting the rubber it's the excess methanol.
