My TDi300 runs well on half cooking oil but I understand that the
injection system on a TD5 is different - can someone enlighten me
please?

Bio or SVO - there is a difference!

Cheers

Considering the close tolerances in the TD5 "unit injectors", and the
costs to get them fixed. I'd stick with the real (expensive) stuff, if
you want to mix it, use Bio, not just cleaned veggie, as at least the
Bio stuff, will have had the glycerol removed.

Funny how SVO/Bio is more suited to older lumps, where as the modern
stuff is suposedly less suitable. Also, how come here in the UK, VW
will if they find even propper Bio in the system will void the warranty,
where as in Germany, the exact same vehicles run on the stuff just fine,
in fact they recomend it! Politics of course, rob us blind as usual.

I find that curious as bog standard pump "dino" diesel can be up to 5
or is it 10% bio diesel...
