At this point in time, I don't think any manufacturers are concentrating on
biodiesel compatabiliy.... One of the big concerns is the quality of "home
brew".
What IS occupying R&D are the new requirements for lower sulfur (sulphur?...
I can't ever get that right) content fuels. Sulphur (sulfur?... I can't ever
get that right) aided in the lubricity of diesel fuel... a major
characteristic considering injection pressures.
I can't speak for any offshore offerings but in North America, despite what
the rumour mill has to say about the 6.4 diesel, I feel it safe to say that
we will no longer see the HEUI injector. Common rail injection is where all
manufacturers seem to be heading. I can't be sure if this will make the
systems more forgiving of biodiesel or if it will have the opposite effect
(let's remember that we are talking fuel pressure well over 20,000 PSI).
Currently, Fords engineers will not recommend anything above B5 fuel.
