Hi i know there has been a bit of a discusion about this but for the first time i tried some biodiesel yestarday from a company in sheffield, Bio uk fuels Ltd all seemed great stopped off in meadowhall shopping centre and then a few hrs later atempted to drive home, what i can say was the longest drive home. It started ok, drove out of the car park, got round on to the slip to join the M1 and it missed a little bit then nothing, got onto the M18 and it was down hill from then on. The car started to cough an splutter and speed went down to 40 with foot flat to the floor, got it to the service's end of the M180 and rang for the AA he came and after 1.5 hrs and would only drop us in a 10 mile radius asked to upgrade so he could take us home the answer was NO , he could drop me at a garage that could do a drain but a 10pm didn't know if it would be done that night and it would be about £200 , so i drove home stopping as the speed dropped to about 40mph, i would wait for about 10 mins and i would get about 5 or 6 miles and have to stop again got home about half 11 what a night.
Got up this morning started the car first go went for a drive no probs and as the temp came up it started all over again
Because i was only doing at best 50 to 60 not used much fuel so draining the tank to night putting fresh diesel in and going to slowly add the mix over the coming months
I used 50/50 mix the temp was good yestarday but it runs better when the car is cold as the car gets up to temp thats when the trouble starts don't think i will be using that again HA !!! enuogh of my rantting (had to get that off my chest)
