For those lucky Europeans who actually own a Dooper now, who has tried using biodiesel? How does it handle with 100% biodiesel? I've read CRDs don't handle with biodiesel as well but I don't believe the Dooper is a CRD.

Hi MCS 37. It says in the handbook not to use biodiesel in the Dooper. I don't know if there are any plans to change that.

Completly agree here, we had 30,000ltrsof it deleiverd by accident to our depot's fuel tanks , in two days it completly disablled our entire fleet of 60 vans and trucks by blocking the fuel filters up!! It's taken nearly ywo weeks to drain the tanks and clense them on all vechiles and our own fuel pumps, I guess someone's got a large bill to pay in damage and lost revenue!!!
