Hello you all,
there is something bothering me lately... everytime I fill up my tank in a dealer nearby, that has great fuel prices, in which diesel fuel has a 7% biodiesel percentage in its composition, my W203 Station loses power at low rev, below 2000rpm...
Today I filled up at a different dealer that is running a big promotion on the higher quality fuel, in Portugal the so called "special or higher grade fuels" and the mpgs increased considerably...
The lower rev engine power came back fully noticeable and there is alot more life on it...
Should I avoid to fill up at local dealers that have biodiesel mixed with fossil fuel?
Is Biodiesel bad for our beloved CDI engines?
Let us shed some light on this pertinent matter...
