Yes, I understand! We ran our 109 diesel on biodiesel in Hong Kong, but not for very long (we left). It worked fine, but the mileage wasn't high enough for probs such as with rubber fuel system parts to emerge. That's what you'll have to check - check this table: "Durability of Various Plastics: Alcohols vs. Gasoline", see Methanol. http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me2.html#table Also, check the fuel filter often at first - bd loosens up all the gunge dino-d leaves in the tank and elsewhere. Are you sure you want to go for a Land Rover 2286 diesel mill? Ours was okay, they're good, yes, but they could sure use more power. I'm toying with the idea of a 3.9 Isuzu diesel, like the Australian Mark 1 (?) Land Rovers of circa 1980. Guys who have them love them. Might be a bit big for a lightweight though. Also we want to have at least one petrol vehicle. >PS IMPORTANT VIRUS WARNING >Latest from another newsgroup I'm on: >e-mails with the sender "maurizio mencuccini" - delete it and don't open >it - there's a virus in the attatchment.
