Ok, just wonderin what your thoughts are.
Called in to morrisons for the regular top up, and noticed the standard diesel has 7% bio in it
As i understood, bio is not too good for td5's but what about this cocktail?
I believe all diesel now has to contain a minimum of 5% bio. I've not had any problems runing mine on esso which contains bio. I'd NEVER put supermarket fuel in my landy though. I've recovered too many cars with dodgy fuel after filling up in supermarkets.

The orange coloured supermarket.....First ever petrol I've come across that won't ignite when a lighter was held to it.
The wife used to work for BP and the quality difference in refinment between branded fuels and supermarket fuels is nowhere near as large as everyone thinks.
its the same as when I worked for LG electronics we made many other brands or at least badged them just like phillips audio visual or is it bang & olufsen..........ahh there both the same. but the price definatly isn't

I ran my TD5 happily on 50% bio with no problem. not even any muck in the fuel filter. Smoother run and better consumption.
