konti lang naman pinagkaiba ng ASTM sa DIN standards.

pero teka nga pala, di ba Big Horn yung sa yo? di naman CRDI yan pre, pwedeng pwede yan sa biodiesel.

OK, so B100 yung specs natin? Yung DIN 51606 pinaka OK. Yup been using Estrols BD for 2 weeks now. Less smoke & better engine response. Noticeable pareho. Was just asking coz pag nanalo ako sa lotto, bibili ako ng 4JX1.

Guys: I tried biodiesel on 4JX1 3 iters on a full tank, pero mausok pa rin. No noticeable change in power, cguro dahil malakas na talaga engine ng trooper. Am hoping to lessen smoke, but yung baho ng diesel medyo nabawasan esp in the morning. will try another 3 liters on my next full tank and observe. should i increase biodiesel percentage, sabi kasi ng dealer 5% lang. what should I do? thanks

chull_al,
try to increase it to 6 liters so more or less its 10% of your total tank capacity. yung sa akin ganyan din ang ginawa ko, epekto kaagad. now I maintain it at 3 liters per full tank.

Yup, Doc D is right! Noticeable ang reduction sa smoke emission at a minimum of 5% blend. 10% is much better, that is also the percentile we are using right now.

On 2nd tank using 4% blend on an 85L tank of 4JX1 engine. First tank, at 2% blend, only gave a slight reduction in smoke but smoother idle.
Hope the 4% blend reduces smoke further and gives more power!

Been using biodiesel for a month, am now at 5% and it does make a huge difference in common rail injec. I use to have a knocking sound when i start the engine in the morning, think it was caused by detonation of low cetane diesel- just like in petrol engines with poor quality gas. Also had rough idle after a long drive- all that's gone with 5% boidiesel!
The lubricity is better since the engine is noticeably quieter. The biggest benefit is in the torque- now the car is fun to drive. Think that the improved cetane means no predetonation thus you get a complete, clean burn.
IMO, the trooper's common rail system is very sensitive to quality of diesel fuel. It really needs high cetane, high lubricity fuel- so use biodiesel if you want the engine to last.

jackaroo,

great news.

jackaroo: nice to hear about that. I think rin na aside from the performance side what you can actually confirm with an actual test is the reduction in harmful emission. It's really time we do something about the AIR or SMOG in MM.

narinig ko sa radyo ang davao biodiesel daw mag export na sa japan and canada ganda raw kasi ng quality kaya nagustuhan ng hapon....... meron ba davao biodiesel.........anyway basta mag export na tayo sa japan..............
