Gull WA Biodiesel

Hi there Skid

It's a constant point of discussion here, shall we say ... take a look at recent posts 34696 and 34943.

Expect to replace your fuel filter after first tank or two.

Check that there is no natural rubber in the fuel system (I don't think so in a 1HZ)

and get ready to smell great and run smoothly.

Gull should provide you some good consumer advice too.

Ciao for now

Gulls offering in WA is only B20 (20% blend biodiesel)

I've run a number of tanks, and its cut the smoke from the GQ so i cant see it in the passenger mirror any more lol.

All up happy so far, but wishing they would bring out a 100% blend.

at 20% the "natural rubber" issue is would only be an issue if your seals/hoses were so borderline that they were about to s..t anyway. Ditto fuel filters.
Ive used it since it came out in early 90's hilux, un-noticable change other than the 3 or 4 cents a litre, and use it on principle anyway.

Must agree, I and several others I know have been running it for a few months now. No negatives noticed, engine runs quieter and smoother (good level of cetane and lubricating properties??) and smokes a little less.

Your mates may give you a hard time over the two way-"2 bucks chips and a peice of whiting thanks....." LOL

As others have said, its great to use just in principle. I havent had any issues with filters from using Gull, although at xmas I used the SAFF bio blend on a couple of occasions and went through a couple of fuel filters. I cannot say wether it was due to the bio or sub standard fuel on the nullabour and in SA in general!! (duck, or should that be crow??)

The savings are great too. I buy mine from Gingers, they advertise normal diesel on the sign (for trucks etc), so when you get to the bowser and see that it is 3-4 c cheaper, it is always a pleasant surprise.

As previously posted, if you have issues with rubber and the such, they are proberly nearing replacement anyway. Good luck and do your bit for the environment.

Thanks for that, I was a little unsure haw much effect BD20 would have. Perhaps the Biod I used at xmas did the cleaning, hence no problems of late with filters.

Its always good to learn more about renewable fuels and energies, as it seems to be where the world is heading.

I've been using the B20 for ages. Lorie's fuel in Kelmscot sell it.
No problems in the truck-Cat 425,,, or the patrol-ZD30.

Been buying mine from Gull Warnbro for my '91 80 Series - it seems to be going great.
