Can I run my New Zafira 1.9cdi on Biodiesel ? my local station sells a 60/40 mix ....?

Answer 1

Mechanically yes, but it will invalidate your warranty.  Most manufacturers warranties allow for 5% blend of biodiesel, but I can't imagine how they would know if your car was running on more than that should it be necessary to have any work done under warranty.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter whether it's made from waste oil or new oil, as long as it's made to the standard spec. http://www.biodiesel.org/resources/fuelf...

They'll know you were running biodiesel when your engine lasts longer than usual.  Biodiesel has better lubricity than diesel.

Answer 3

I have a 2007 Zafira Sri Diesel, and often wondered if i can too.... problem is i do not have a garage near me that sells the stuff.....

Tried looking on the net, and found this site that may help you out a bit more....

Good luck.... would really like to know if you find out anything positive either way.

Answer 4

don't know, but do you really want to? Given the choice I'd stay well clear of it (unless you brew your own or know the garage sell biodiesel made exclusively from W.V.O.
