Biodiesel Rulez!!! [ARCHIVED]

**Psalm136:2** · July 30th, 2005 05:31 PM

Thanks sa info, will try to test it on my Dayunyor when I get home next year. I inquired about it to my agent, he said mas pinu-push daw sa Pinas yung CNG. In both options, alin kaya ang mas economical to use as well as availability is concern. Unlike biodiesel, kailangan pa bang i-modify ang diesel engine to use CNG? Sorry uli ha, don't know anything about chemistry or all of the above posts, hehe. Just trying to understand the concept ika nga sa advertising world (where I belong).

What would be the signs of a clogged fuel filter?

TIA

Your top speed will drop, or your throttle response becomes slow, or your truck begins to crawl - then it's time to change your fuel filter.

Thanks! I think I'm ready to try a 20% Biodiesel mixture.

Any 4d56 users here with Biodiesel experience? My ride is a 1996 L200. Any tips and precautionary measures would certainly be appreciated.

bagwis, i understand your apprehension regarding putting something "foreign" into your fuel tank. have been through that before... hehehe!

anyways, the major precautionary measure worth giving is just to take care that none of the biodiesel gets into your paint or spills into your carpet. wipe out / blot out any spill immediately.

the second would be to change your fuel filter several tankfuls after the mandatory two tankfuls of B20.

btw -- has anyone here noticed that bioactiv's product quality seems better than estrol's?

bagwis , my ride is an '01 strada. so far wala naman problema. same as what diesoline said, change fuel filter after two tankfuls of B20. this will ensure that the fuel flow won't be compromised with the increased dirt going to the fuel filter since BD does have "cleaning properties"

My ride is a 98 local version Space Gear, just like what diesoline said, change your fuel filters after 2 tankfuls of BD20, then switch to a 1 to 2% blend.

To diesoline, notEworthy27, and falken: Thank you very much for all the tips!

Tsikoters are indeed a helpful lot. I'll try and post if anything comes up. Salamat pong muli!

diesoline: bro how can you say that BioActive is better than Estrol? I would really like to know if you have some scientific data on this coz I am selling Senbel's and all I know is that they conform to ASTM and DIN standards which I am sure is the same case with BioActive. Healthy discussion lang is all I want coz believe me when I say that selling BD right now is not very interesting coz konti lang yung volume (hindi pa mainstream). Reason why Im pushing it is so that we can all try it and give objective feedbacks whether it be Senbel, Chemrez, home brew, etc. This way we can spread the benefits of renewable, indigenous energy. I would appreciate your comments.
