    i found the cost of bio diesel was not that much cheaper than normal diesel so the extra hassle of having to goto two places and the potential risk of thing like warranties just wouldnt make it worth it

    Have a look in your owners book it should state in there what standards of fuel it expects, bio diesel should be made to a standard

    Also ask your dealer sometimes they are helpful!
