B5 biodiesel debuts in Kuala Lumpur, at 247 stations

[docrayboy]

Biodiesel has arrived here in KL! What do you guys think/know etc.? Done a comparison between diesel and biodiesel yourselves after testing them in your car? Do we have a choice in choosing diesel or biodiesel-will stations sell both types of fuel? What does BMW Malaysia say/advise if there were 2 options in a station-choose which one?http://paultan.org/2011/10/06/b5-biodiesel-debuts-in-kuala-lumpur-at-247-stations/#respond

Wow, that's good news. All the more reasons for many to join the diesel party then. :biggrin:

Look at your fuel filler cap. It says "Max B7". So B5 is ok for our d cars.

Eggie don't be too happy about it, one day you find that you can't afford cooking oil in your kitchen anymore. Why, because by then the demand for CPO is absorb by the automobile industry and CPO (crude palm oil) cost probably 10k per ton. LOL that's what happen in 2008, it shot from $1,800 to approx $4,200 per ton when fossil oil was at US120per barrel and everybody jump into manufacturing of bio-diesel....

It's hard to find a station which is still supplying pure diesel now in Klang Valley. From my experience, I think B5 or not, it really doen't make much difference to my Nissan Navara's performane. That's all I can say.
