thanks, I also e-mailed senbel themselves. they recommended 5% for the first week and 2% for the succeeding weeks. Also, there is no expiration for the biodiesel. But they are manadted by DOE to put a 1 year expiration.

First of all ubos na yung stocks ko so for those na nagtext ealy next week pa yung delivery. Yung mga concerns sa storage mukhang nasagot na. Yung discount pag 100 liters, wala from Senbel, sori. Benta mo na lang yung lalagyan*35 each

According to the DOE, 2% blend will bring benefits already.

There are some instances where "pumaplaya" ang engine. In such cases, the likely cause will be a clogged fuel filter. Dio-diesel has the effect of cleaning your fuel lines and decarbonizing the engine. And where does the dirt go ?

So, also according to DOE, replace your fuel filters after 2 tank fulls with a 5% blend. Drain you tank as well. A lot of the sludge will be deposited in those two places.

For easier monitoring, insert a transparent or semi-transparent in-line fuel filter somewhere in your fuel line. That should provide you a visual of how dirty (or clean) your fuel is.

"naintriga nga rin ako sa biodiesel na yan... i wonder kung completely safe for the fuel system and engine iyan over the long term?'

There are some instances where rubber lines in older cars have "melted". Change old rubber lines to new ones ... preferably to bio-diesel compatible ones ... but the exact term/kind escapes as of now

hi,

i just tried using biodiesel in my pajero, the one made by chemrez, Bio Activ I used a 1% blend pero may effect agad.!! so far so good engine runs smoother and a liitle bit more power, wala din usok.

Very impressed!!!

After doing the B5 clean-up routine with 2 full tanks and changing your plugged fuel filter (as I did), has anyone had their fuel tank drained and cleaned (kelangan pa ba gawin tong procedure na to?) If yes, can someone recommend a good shop for this fuel tank clean-up. TIA

sir altec's finding on issues on filtering of the CME is very interesting. something we should be watchful of. this has been oberved on senbel biodiesel, and *they are looking into bioactive as well.

hanggang B20 no problem ang CME sa mga rubber hoses. Most studies we have on this effect ay yung sa mga b100

I dont know if this has been posted already, but the price of Bioactiv almost doubled at P65/500ml. Last time I bought it was just P70+/li. Seems very unreasonable....

Yep. Nag-increase ang prices! The last time I used bio-exceed of seaoil, 1 liter is P125.00. I shifted to senbel sold at P66/liter (yn per liter sold per box containing 10 liters) or P60/liter (carbuouy, containing 20 liters). Ang presyo ng senbel ngayon: P85/liter from P66/liter and P66/liter yn dating P60/liter.
