Cant fault you for giving it a go, you'll have to let everyone know how the vehicle runs on it.

Trouble with 100% bio diesel is the premature wear in rubber seals. Maybe not so good for rubber injector seals on 3.0 ?

From what I have read it only affects rubber seals made from natural rubber... will the seals on the 3.0 be silicone type rubber??

according to the web sites most cars after 1990 use synthatic rubber thet isnt bothered by bio fuel

Whoa guys, even 100% bio needs warming in the cold weather . It may crystalise in your filter if too cold, I wouldn't go 100% in one go I would build up to it and vary it according to the weather temperatures when you know how your car reacts in differing conditions.

And dont forget it acts as a solvent and it will clean out your fuel tank and fuel system (have a filter on standby).

good luck keith
