I've found a great biodiesel supplier here in Houston, and he sells B100.
Now it's time to get a TDI.
One option is to get a new one and simply refrain from bringing up the whole BD issue.
But there's this big deal-killer cloud on the horizon: If and when I need warranty work in the future, I'll expect it to be done at VW's expense. If there's even the POSSIBILITY of a challenge because I used BD in the car, count me out. Not interested.
So I'm thinking that I would go to a dealership and ask the salesman to show me the most recent Jetta diesel that he locate... as long as it's out of warranty.
That way, I could be totally up-front: My intention is to run the car on commercially-available biodiesel. If the fuel clogs a filter or eats through a rubber part, then it's my problem and I'll pay to get it fixed.
What do you think? Does that seem like a reasonable gameplan?
Your comments are welcome.
