Not wanting to count my chickens before they hatch as I have to sell my current cruiser first BUT I wanted to ask those running alternative fuels a few questions.
I have done some asking around on the South African Landcruiser Forum and it would seem that running a petrol cruiser on LPG is not a viable option due to the lack of availability and the cost factor, LPG is only slightly cheaper than petrol.
Based on this it would seem that the best option for me is to run biodiesel. As it stands I am selling my current 2003 100 series so that I can get an 04 or later model to get the 5spd box and a slightly newer model to take back to SA.
I have been told n the past that newer diesel engines are a lot more refined and fussier on the fuel you put in than older diesel engines. Based on this what do those in the know think about running an 04 or later maybe and 05 100 series on biodiesel.
Is there anything to look out for when buying a car to run on biodiesel that I should be aware of and is there anyone on here that has a later model 100 running biodiesel?
