..."where is the harm in that" - the harm, as was pointed out is the destruction of rainforest to plant a crop to produce a diesel oil substitue. Did you not read that bit?

The destruction of rainforest is THE harm.

You might not be worried about the samething happening in the Amazon for the production of Beef.....

As you cant see it and dont care, why would you be bothered? No future gene pool for you to think about.

The misnomer about "common sense" - its not very common.

"All it takes for bad things to happen is for good men to do nothing" not quite his original quote....

No offence to anyone, but is anyone worried about this country being built all over to house people from other countries, what about all the land that is being taken out of growing for all sorts of things, never mind a monkey in another country.

:stopsign::: When we use bio diesel the engine runs cleaner and when its been for MOT the Co2 reading is always lower.
We have Co2 printout to show the difference between bio diesel and pump diesel

I concur on that as various vehicles owned have all passed an mot with lower omissions than previous years
Cost.25 - 30p per litre to produce wvo (Rape seed) so recycling, and doing my bit for the planet :RollEyes:

There is mountains of information on the net regarding making and the production of bio. It must be studied and it takes time to digest. No one person is going to say a vehicle will be OK to run on bio or not as it can only be treated as an experimental fuel. The only vehicle manufacturer that I know of that has actually come out and said there vehicle is suitable for use with bio fuels is VW with there MK 3 Golf. Thats why we run 2 of them. Re the purchase of bio at much lower prices than pump prices, if it was me I would be VERY careful. The only sure way is make it yourself.

Different subject - why not start another post - we can discuss it there - this one was about bio diesel not our policies on border control.

and we've only talked about it? your issue is?

Thinking further than the end of your nose is an issue?

I have a life, I have a grip on that too. I would like to use less poluting fuels, but bio diesel in the way its produced is devasting some parts of the world. Its really important you know.

I buy the cheapest fuel I can, yes I goto Asda/Tesco etc., like most.

I dont have much of an option. I use diesel and petrol. Not much I can realistically do about that until they make cheaper electric versions....although moving all the stuff to make the batteries and is very destructive too.

I am not a tree hugging, hedgehog cuddling "greenie" - but as an outdoor person I am aware that everything i do can influence the effects on this small blue lump we live on.

If you could do a bit to help make it last longer, why not try?

Sadly we've been sold a pup, bio diesel isnt as eco friendly as they'd have you believe, a bit like electric cars.

But if all your interested in is whats in your wallet, what makes you different from the bankers that have just screwed up the worlds economy?

my issue is i asked some sensible people about if bio diesel was any good most have given sound advice as for the green issues and lets save the planet b**ls**t i really couldn't give a monkeys arse about it the planet believe it or not will compensate for anything we throw at it and if it dont so be it if you really think that people in the uk stopping sending crap into the air is gonna make a diff you are misguided the only thing tryin to be environmentally friendly has done is allowed the governments present and passed to tax it :roflmto:
