You used Bio-diesel in a Bosch vp44 pump?
Are you mad?

No?

The bio I use is produced to EN14214 standards and I have no problems in using it nor do other people I know with high-end expensive diesel motors (Rangerover TDV6, Jaguar X-type Diesel, BMW 530d Sport to name a few)

Problems start due to lack of servicing or using Bio that contains a high amount of water or glycerol. If produced properly to En standards then shouldn't have any issues providing you service your vehicle regular.

It strikes me that, whether or not this pump can safely be used with biofuels, the resulting issues of mechanical wear would have caused a more gradual failure than this?
