Biodiesel use
I just asked my local dealer about the use of biodiesel in VW TDI engines. He sent me a PDF file from VW with the following summary.
In summary:
1. Volkswagen recommends the use of standard
diesel fuel or commercially supplied biodiesel
blends of no more than five percent (“B5”) biodiesel.
2. Never use any fuel, whether diesel, B5 biodiesel, or
otherwise, that fails to meet the latest petroleum
industry specifications or that is not purchased
from a commercial retail diesel pump. If you are
unable to determine whether a particular fuel
blend is B5 biodiesel that meets the latest biodiesel
industry specifications, ask your service station for
more information.
3. Never use any fuel for which the contents cannot
be identified.
