Can I run my 2018 v90 cc, d5 on biodiesel?

What does the handbook say?

The manual says no, it could cause more ware but not how much. With diesel prices I'm trying to find alternatives.

I figured as much - older diesels such as Pump Duese can but the latest pumps have such find tolerances and so cannot cope with lack lubricity from biodiesel plus biodiesel can lead to blockages so not worth hassle. Good news is that latest reports say prices will start to come back down soon -fingers crossed.
At least electricity more expensive so electric brigade also feeling the pinch

Our local independent proudly announced a 5p per litre reduction as of this morning. Still cost me £90....

If that was Preston’s , it’s still 15p more than everybody else!

Absolutely correct in every detail. It is the first time I've used them since I bought the current car 18 months ago. It was particularly convenient; that's my only excuse!
