Note sure, but would like to know as well, Biodiesel
will sooner or later by in New Jersey.  I have 1.6TD
that I would like to run it in as well.

Yes, you can put veggie oil, new out of bottle in the
tank, I would say up to 30% in these temps, with no
issues.  Will it be good or bad for the IP or
injectors, good, I would hope.
