Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / September 2005306 HDI and BIO DIESEL ?
I have a 2000 306 HDi Meridian (90) and would like to know if any of you out there have any info regarding problems with running the HDi engine on 100% Bio-Diesel. I have heard various different moans about injector/fuel pump problems and wondered if these were ungrounded or not. Bottom line is Bio-Diesel is far cheaper than Dino-Diesel and I think this is the way to go. Any comments? Just try it if your engine fails keep the oil company responsible for the damage.......... greetz ,Aat >I have a 2000 306 HDi Meridian (90) and would like to know if any of you >out [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Any comments? Unfortunately it doesn't work like that I am a Ford technician and a couple of months ago we had a new shape fiesta towed in - it was a 1400 tdi - this is a Peugeot engine by the way - the bloke had been running this on bio diesel and knackered the pump - the car was still under warranty but Ford motor company sent out a field engineer and they tested the fuel and the blokes warranty was void on the fuel system and any related components ! If you are going to use it I would only go as far as to mix it something like 80% regular and 20% bio - the total job cast the bloke about £ 2,000 all together ! Hope this helps you make up your mind !

I know some pumps aren't strong enough to handle BIO, but some like the Bosch units are.. Thanks for the info though.

Mike d ...your smack on mate !!!.How's our engine doing your side (dv4td 1.4 h.d.i) apart from dodgy fuel ???. boodad don't do it mate !!! ive seen a few of these scraped due to "crisp and dry " fuel .your engine dw10td runs on very fine tolerances (injectors on microns) and can be upset by the different viscosity biodiesel.perhaps its not so bad in indirect diesel engines BUT >>I am a Ford technician and a couple of months ago we had a new shape >>fiesta towed in - it was a 1400 tdi - this is a Peugeot engine by the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >different viscosity biodiesel.perhaps its not so bad in indirect diesel >engines BUT NOT IN DIRECT INJECTION ENGINES!!! That's enough for me thanks... Worth asking! Thanks all.

Your engine is holding up well - it`s a pity the ford it`s fitted in isn`t always as reliable - we seem to have a lot of bother with engine bay looms and connections to the PCM etc - I think the problem today is everything is built to a price and if fords can save a penny on every loom they will - regardless of how long it lasts before it gives problems !
