Does anyone have any experience of using biofuel in a Nissan Pathfinder. The handbook says not to do it but I have just read that a company in Oxford is converting Nissan Navara's (which have the same engine as the Pathfinder) to run on neat bio-fuel - a mixture of rape and soya oil.
Is there a good reason why you shouldn't use biofuel or are Nissan just being luddite's?

I've read a few tales of drivers with modern diesel engines using pure biofuel and ending up with very expensive repairs to injectors and pumps. If the Oxford company are willing to be responsible for replacement of damaged parts due to prolonged use of their product then go ahead, I personally would avoid using any fuel which is not as per the handbook or up to the relevant standard.
Whenever a car is shown running on pure biodiesel or chip fat it's always a very old diesel car with old fashioned mechanical pump technology under the bonnet.
