Can anyone tell me about experience with running only B100 in a modern Common Rail Diesel engine (CDI, TDI, Cummins) etc. There are numerous stories out there that this should not be done. I've heard reasons such as the ultra high pressure fuel delivery systems & tight tolerance precision components do not like the higher viscosity BD. Also there may be issues with Urea injection (Blutech) systems etc. Any experience or comments?
Thanks. PD

The Germans have far more common rail experience and several CR engines have run SVO for over 100,000 miles. If you can translate with Google try searching www.fmso.de 'Datenbank' for M-B and Audi ,VW TDI's with CR systems running SVO.
Obviously, if they can run SVO, B100 shouldn't be a problem from a viscosity perspective.
Actually FWIR, the higher pressure in CR system yields better atomization of SVO ( and B100 ).


1-tank Elsbett VW TDI , 115,000 SVO miles.
