Can I run a Ford Transit Connect 1.8TDCi on a biodiesel mix?

Question

I am about to purchase a brand new van and would like to run it on a mix of bio and conventional diesel. Can anyone suggest the maximum biodiesel percentage for this engine. Thank you,

Answer 1

Dont bother.. common rail diesels like this get upset too easy.. just use diesel or better still get an old fashioned van instead that is made properly.. i had a 2.0 tdci tourneo professionally converted with a Smartveg svo kit.. ended up with knackered injectors, holed piston, the lot.. c**p!
