Hello All
I've known about this Forum for a while, but have just signed up. I drive a bog standard Octavia Elegance Estate 1.9TDi 105BHP. It's a 2005 model bought new, to replace the older Octavia estate that I bought new in 2002. So I've been a Skoda driver and huge fan for about 6 years.
I've been studying biodiesel threads as I am an environmentalist (professionally and in my personal life) and I want to reduce my carbon footprint. It seems that you can run a blend of vegetable oil with normal diesel with not too many problems (I'll have to learn how to change a fuel filter though). I have two main questions:
1. Can I just bulk buy rapeseed oil and pour a few bottles into the tank every now and then (perhaps aiming not to exceed 10% of the tank)?
2. Does its use invalidate my warranty should engine problems develop?
One further question: Does my 1.9 TDi count as a PD unit or not?
That's all for now. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Adam
