Newbie here! Just wanted to say hi...

Barely learning more about diesel in the past couple of months. It was (still is) such a great invention, wasn't it?

I'm toying with the idea of getting a 240D/300D and running WVO. Let's me dig a little deeper here for more info.

Have a great day, guys.

I too did some preliminary digging into WVO. It is definately not worth the hassle from what I have found. Forced Induction, the town next to mine has a pump that sells B5 Biodiesel. I believe that means that it is 5% Bio. Do you think that it's safe to run in my 240D? Thanks.

How is it illegal? If you’re talking about road tax, it’s 18 cents a gallon here in CA. Keeping score of the usage and filing accordingly should take care of it. If you’re talking about storing BioD, I’ve read something about using filtered WVO w/ a fuel hating system, two-tank preferrably. I would assume, it wouldn’t run into any legal problems for storing hazardous materials, would I? Correct me if I’m mistaken. I’m a willing learner. \\&lt\\;br&gt\\;&lt\\;br&gt\\;Hey when you guys say WVO is messy, is it just the collecting and pumping? Anything else? I’m spending $200-250 a month. It is worth getting my hands dirty a few times a month?&lt\\;br&gt\\;&lt\\;br&gt\\;&lt\\;br&gt\\;
