Does anyone in this forum run biodiesel on their 100 series? The idea of making my own fuel is really intriguing and wondering if anyone has tried it on these engines or if they run a mix etc

were you "refining" the oil at all? or just pouring topping off a tank with it?I have long added 5-15% “processed” vegetable oil (from a local grocery store fryer) to my ex-BJ70, BJ42 and HJ61. I did it a hand full of time in my HDJ100, each time about 4L per full tank of diesel.
I don't do it anymore because I no longer have a source to supply me with oil and, more importantly, I no longer have the energy and will to do it.
In any case, although I'd still do it, I'd be reluctant to add a large quantity of vegetable oil just because the HDJ100 pump isn't fully mechanical and has different sensors. It's not scientific... just a feeling.
Apologies. I just figured I might see more chatter about it in the forums. Most of that thread is 15+ yrs old and seems to be monstly 70 series chatter. I've been flirting with the idea of importing a 100 series and was hoping to hear more about FTE engines running bio
I used the oil from the fryer for fries only (not the oil used for frying fried chicken -> to avoid animal fats).were you "refining" the oil at all? or just pouring topping off a tank with it?
