No no no Steve,
If biodiesel can cause any damage at all, under any circumstances, in any percentage concentration, then this is how things are and by stunningly logical, rigorous, scientific deduction is HOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE and denotes that ALL biodiesel is bad, that NO ONE should EVER use it under any circumstances, or extend ANY effort whatsoever toward addressing known issues and reSOLVING them. That, you see, would involve foresight. That would be tampering with how things ARE (if that). Why bother? It's much more important to insist that there is no possibility that biodiesel has gargantuan potential. Can't you for ONCE just see things in black and white?! Sheesh. You dreamers in here. Just go home and give up already.

Isn't this the same doomed-to-repetition thread as the other one that's been generating a lot of pages this week?

One thing that seems to have escaped everyones attention. In Europe, fuel quality is guaranteed at the pump by a sticker saying the the fuel meets the relevant EU (BS/DIN equivalent) standard. This means that if your engine fails you are covered by the warranty. I understand that the legal position in NA is different, hence VWofNA's different stance to biodiesel to VAG in Europe.
Also note that this is a particularly German problem. Note the statement that "if the fuel had been sold according to the law for petrol and petro-diesel the garages would have been shut down".
This implies some legal concession/blind eye exists in Germany for biodiesel.
This certainly doesn't apply in the UK where such infraction WOULD involve prosecution for failure to meet BS(DIN) standards. No problems were reported with PD engines here running on biodiesel. Also, ALL French diesel contains 5% biodiesel and there were no reported problems there, either.
