A buddy of mine is contemplating getting a new M diesel, one of his
interests is in running bio-d in it. He has been looking at the MB web
site, it says
“Mercedes-Benz USA now approves the use of B5 bio diesel (standard
diesel with a maximum 5% bio diesel content) in all Common Rail
Injection
No way would I even go near it if it were me. If I spent that kind of
$$$ on a car I'm not giving anyone ANY opportunity to deny a warranty
claim. If he wants to run Bio advise him to get an old Volkswagen or
a 240D.

I find it interesting that Mercedes, VW, etc. accepted biodiesel
years ago in Europe yet here we are still playing the percentage
game. :)
I don't believe they had any choice in Europe.

That'd be pretty easy, I'd think. You could preheat the WVO with a
steam coil, if you carried some kerosene as starting fuel. Locomotives
used to do this when they ran heavy fuel oil, which is like Jello at
room temperature.
Most of the bioD folks are lazy and travel only a few miles.
What with stopping periodically to put a candle under the fuel tank, takes a
while to get anyplace.

I have upgraded to a MAPP tank and a long, thin, black iron tube
squished at the end. Slow flow and a weak flame. Maybe I should just
change over to steam

I personally believe the ability to run a modern steam car easily on
biodiesel is very important if the green image is the one used to sell -
