Alright chaps, I want to start using bio diesel in my 1996 90 300tdi. £1.37pl reg deisel is killing me! I think with the money I save im going to treat her to a icon grill facelift and a satin black roof/alloy spray :). Just a few questions

Can my engine take it without any tweaks?

What type of biodiesel is best for engine health?

Can I use I on its own or do I have to mix it with reg, if so what percentage?

Is biodiesel a nogo in the winter months (in freezing temps)?

Where's best to buy it?/ what's the general price?

How often do I have to change the filter/can it not just be washed?

What's the deal with tax (if any) / do I have to declare that ive made the switch?

...Think that about covers it. Anything I should know would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

a, haven't read the forum instructions and introduced yourself - naughty naughty!
b. Tried the search facility as all the info you need has been gone over a thousand times before.

Oh and welcome.
