Can any Perth member put me on the right track to find an outlet that sells 100% Bio Diesel??

I know Gull sells Bio Diesel but it's only a 20% or so mix.

It's use will be the lube component in Kerro for my 4x4 (much cheaper than outboard oil). The Kerro is a better price again, just in case I get a WTF:love:

Thanks Piston1.

This is for all Gull location, not sure of their price, but still only 20% or so??

For others interested, I have found 100% Biodiesel for commercial sale, at about $1.10/L. (PM if required). Now for some cheap Kerro and it's cough, cough, splutter away:love:

guys just a note on using Bio Diesel... Alot of farmers out are way are using Bio Diesel and there is a mass shit fight on at the moment because it has a bad habit of destroying fuel pumps and injectors and the like. At about $7k for some of the fuel pumps on the tractors you can see why people would get upset. Warranty is not covering it either at the moment because of the quality of the fuel is the cause and not the equipment. Im not sure what effect it would have on a P/car but i assume it would cause similar difficulties

Have heard the same, particularly the back yard stuff with some vegi oil bases. I would not use it 100% in anything. As a 3-5% mix in Kerro though, brings the lube properties up to Diesel levels (my intended purpose).

Kerro on it's own runs well in a Diesel, just has zero lube, so will after several years ruin Pumps/injectors. Not for modern or hi tech engines, Cruisers and the likes only.
