I got a leaflet to day offering bio diesel at 10p a ltr cheaper than super markets prices. I have a 2008 E class (211) 220 tdi, has anyone used bio with this engine ? if so any problems ?.
Leaflet tells me no need for mods just fill up and go, cleaner for the engine, may give better mpg.

Hi Folks,
I am looking at either a C or E class diesel Mercedes (pre 2000 model) which I intend to run on Bio. I should stress this is proper Bio, not poorly strained fat from last nights chips!

I have a w124 e300 D great car which I love!

Hello,
Has anyone any experience of running mercs and in particular a class's on bio diesel ?

Apologies if I've missed it, but searched the forums and could not find anything posted.
So, the incentive of a 20p a litre saving is looking attractive to me... Has or does anyone on here run their car on Bio Diesel? Are there any downsides, or problems?
A friend of mine has been running...
