Chazar Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So is it ok to use in modern pick ups in Thailand or not and if not WHY not talking b10-20 I have a 2017 Chevvy Pick up but Chevvy advise against not using it? Apparently 2020 model is ok for B20........Ive only done 9000km in 2 years as I read swapping to bio can remove <deleted>/varnish left by normal diesel and block filters. Once filters replaced its fine? Yet some websites state can be used fine in all modern diesels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Even the most modern of diesel engines will have expensive problems if they use B10 , or even worse , B20. The "B" is oil (palm/maze/rape) , and trying to burn it causes the EGR , DPF units to clog/gum up , in as few as 30K. This oil addative idea really hasnt been thought through . To keep the engines running , it will be back to the days of de-coking. Not a step forward. This is beside the forest devastation being caused by the burning , to make way for the palm plantations.

I will study this later , but in the first few lines , it admits the massive negative environmental impact of polluted waterways and de-forestation. A few lines further down it says bio diesel is fine for Caterpillar / John Deere tractors etc , but car companies haven fully agreed. Id rather not use it , but if B10 is all thats available , i will end up driving a very polluting vehicle after 30K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also spirits but not Lao Khao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
