I've dug around a bit and today there's plenty of choices when it comes to diesel fuels in Sweden. Not all pumps carry the same oil. I can for about the same price find diesel that has:
* Cetane number from 51 to over 60
* No FAME (RME) or up to 7%
* No HVO (biodiesel) or up to 30~35%
And of course plenty of other variables, but I'm mostly aiming for two goals: Maximizing the amount of renewables and optimal cetane number for this engine.
Anyone know what the 1.3L mutijet was designed for? Of course it's a common rail so it can adapt the injection angle. In a perfect world it should always be right no matter the cetane number. But we don't live in a perfect world.
Growth in FAME is no problem, the tank is small and doesn't last many days with my use...
For reference I have a 2006 4x4, so the 51kW-version of the 1.3 MJ with EGR but without DPF.
I'm also considering starting to log exhaust temperature to understand the process better, but maybe that's a topic of its own!
