Hey, does anyone out there know anything about running the 1.3 90 bhp MultiJet on Bio Diesel? I need something from a report on a long term test or something like that i.e from whatcar or the like.
Does anyone have any info?!

it shouldn't make any difference - as long as the spec conforms to the standard (it's an EN number.. 5940?) it should run OK. It's actually kinder to the engine due to slightly better lubricity. Or you can make your own:

Yep its perfectly safe!. Biodiesel in the pumps is usually 95% Mineral diesel and 5% biodiesel anyway and is totally safe if not actually better.
