[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7555622, member: 44728"] As far as I know Yes to both questions. Many fuel distributors will claim its main use to be used to replace Red for heating purposes. However, it is used where Hospitals or such like use Back-up generators that might not run for considerable lengths of time. With regards modern Common Rail engines: Many have a system that will shut the engine down if the renewable fraction within the diesel is too high. There are still many countries that do not use any renewable fraction within their fuels. Also, when the price of the renewable is too high, Oil companies will not put any renewable in their fuel and willingly pay the fine for not doing so which is cheaper than the cost of the renewable part anyway. This happens very regularly now. So modern engines have to be able to run on fuels without any renewable fraction at all. [/QUOTE]
