Kim,
I am currently driving a
Renault Scenic 2001 powered by an intercooled turbo direct injection diesel
engine. The owner's manual mentions that rapeseed oil should not be used under
any circumstance. I have been asking the reasons but there has not been any
response.

Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Rapeseed oil
suitable for making biodiesel
Hey Community,
I'm curious...Canola (Canada Oil Low
Acid) oil in North American is specifically bred and marketing towards
the edible oils market...but what about "industrial rapeseed" oil? I
hear that the Europeans use it for most of their biodiesel but I want to
know more. What are the specific aspects of European rapeseed oil
that is used for biodiesel? Is that type of oil available in North
America on a commercial, coop, local, or requested basis? I ask
because of the issue of NoX using soybean oil. I want to find
a source (or develop a source) of optimal rapeseed oil from which to
make lower NoX biodiesel (as well as lower cloud point), etc. Can
anyone help
with information?
KN California
