hi friends,

BMW group Malaysia has issued a response to the reported implementation of B10 bio-diesel essentially, it says its tests worldwide have found “technical challenges” running the 10% palm-based biodiesel/90% petroleum diesel blend in engines.According to MD and CEO Alan Harris, testing has found that fatty-acid methyl ester (FAME), which boils at high temperatures, will move into the motor oil, causing it to thin and possibly leading to oil sludge. This reduces lubricity and increases the risk of engine damage.Other issues cited include formation of injector deposits, injection invariance, reduced idling cycle stability and higher levels of water in the fuel, the latter causing component corrosion.
