Hi,
Can I run my 2012 Kia cee'd 1.6 CRDi on bio-diesel?

Hi Carl,
Yes, theoretically you can run any diesel car on bio-diesel, but you need to be careful with where you're sourcing your fuel from - low quality bio-diesel can clog your injectors up.
It's also worth bearing in mind that the environmental benefits of bio-diesel are somewhat unproven. There's quite a debate going on at the moment about whether the theoretically lower CO2 emissions outweigh the use of land for growing bio-fuel crops.
