Hello and thank you all for the great information. I am working on buying a new vehicle with sustainability and economy as my two main requirements. I just totaled my Jeep Grand Cherokee which I really loved. I am interested in a diesel engine so I can purchase biodiesel. The Jeep liberty seems like a great fit for me but if it "Will Not" run biodiesel, I may need to look further. Can anyone here coment on running biodiesel in the 2.7 CRD beyond the issues with water and the injectors. Is there a solution? Thanks for your comments in advance Scotty |

Replying to: egrasem (Oct 06, 2007 8:10 am) The unused fuel coming out of the pump was filtered a fraction of a second ago. Is there really matter to worry about an accumulation of air in such a circuit? I've used this single tube plumbing during many years for my oil furnace. Since diesel fuel is not elastic and the high pressure pump cannot produce more fuel than it received, it's neither a high pressure issue nor a threat to the filter such as a backflow. |

I have an '05 CRD and have been running B20 off and on with no problems. A new Bio_diesel plant (www.newportbiodiesel.com) just opened and I added B99 to my half full tank. I plan on running straight B99 once the weather warms up.

I was not really pleased with the biodiesel I used because it was very expensive and less efficient (in my case). According to my humble experience, diesel fuel is like cheese: the more it stinks the better it is  On the other hand, I would keep this biodiesel for heating and producing cleaner electricity. What's left of our Industry pollutes much more than we do.

Replying to: arvman (Jun 08, 2008 8:52 pm) Biodiesel is "on-hold" here and I was told that the EU will soon impose such restrictions that small diesel engines will become a thing of the past  Historically diesel fuel was 1/2 the price of premium gasoline in the EU. Last night I heard there wasn't enough diesel fuel available; this is the way we are being prepared to change our habits. Even ethanol mixed with gasoline is no longer supported. People who bought Flex-System (bio-ethanol or gasoline) powered vehicles are left with no support: their projected filling stations will not be built. People are offended by the idea of agriculture feeding vehicles instead of humans. I think waste vegetable oil has potential but even this alternative is kept quiet. We are paying most of the countries' income via fuel tax, so alternatives are not welcome and possible issues are over exaggerated to frighten the population. So buy your filter, but don't put too much expectations in the near future. You may soon be able to buy fuel at the bank: traders are buying and selling fuel simulating virtual shortage as a source of profit. For how long?

Replying to: caribou1 (Jun 09, 2008 4:28 am) Offended? I don't think so. I think people are upset when groceries prices go through the roof because crops are diverted to produce ethanol. It takes a LOT of corn to fill your gas tank with ethanol. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
