It's been the same at our local Morrisons ever since they installed the Bio Diesel pumps. Whilst they are being greedy they can keep it.

Hi, If I was able to get Bio Diesel a bit cheaper than your ordinary diesel, could I just put it into the van like the ordinary diesel and drive away or do you need to have modifications made to the engine first. Regards and thanks for replies - decmac

Hi

Morrisons bio diesel is a 30% blend .. some info here

Morrisons is to launch a 30% blend and that Vauxhall has certified its use for all Euro4 Vivaro and Movano vans.

The certification also includes partner vans from Renault and Nissan. Meanwhile, Ford is undergoing trials to approve 30% biodiesel usage for all its diesel engines, and Peugeot and Citroen have already given their blessing for so-called B30 use in all their HDi diesel engines.

In a rare synergy between fuel supplier, forecourt, manufacturer and fleet customer, Vauxhall’s certification was prompted by a request from BSkyB. The green-leaning media giant ordered 1700 Vivaros via Lombard Vehicle Management over three years, and wanted to run them on the 30% blend.

Vauxhall, along with Renault, then set out to find a suitable blend, finally settling on B30 from Harvest Energy after requesting a number of chemical changes. Morrisons already sells Harvest’s E85 bioethanol and agreed to trial the B30, which Harvest claims will reduce overall CO2 output by 18%.

The cost of the fuel is expected to match that of regular diesel. Unlike E85 bioethanol, the diesel blend doesn’t significantly affect fuel economy, and in some cases can improve it.

The Morrisons launch will be initially low-key to aid the BSkyB trial, which will last six months as the company tests out the fuel on a select number of Vivaros. During that time drivers will take notes and Vauxhall will monitor the fuel’s impact on the engine, including removing the fuel filters every 5000 miles.

type bio diesel in search i will try an dfind the site that gives companies who sell it ,i am lucky nearest is 7 mile away;
as for running it most dont have to be remapped,but it is best if you going to run Bio to change fuel filters and any rubber hoses as bio will clean the wax residue out of the lines and this is where it builds up,they do say you can do a mix of norm and bio,and run at least one tank of bio with no probs,suggest you ask your local dealer if any forseen probs,but i will be looking at running Bio,mainly because of the cost

Contact fiat and ask them easiest solution :thumb: a few of the newer engines may need a tweak to stop it pinking ,but a lot of the older engines [non electric inj] ie ancient land rover will run and basic any oil for fuel, a guy i know waits for Lidl or Aldi to have an Oil sale and grabs lots of it :RollEyes:
