and it happened at a fuel station (outside Nuremeberg, if it matters) with
a MB 170 CDI.  Another time at another fuel station also in Germany (close
to the Swiss border) with a MB 220 CDI, 1999 or 2000 MY,  I was again
advised not to put Bio Diesel in.

Your comments make me think that we might be talking about different things
with the same name.  The Bio Diesel I've seen was offered at the pump like
any other fuel with no mention of concentration.
