Actually, Your PD VW engine uses pressures around 3 times that of any CR system so IF there was gonna be a problem with Pressure causing 'Polyesters'--(LOVE THAT MYTH!)--Then you would have spotted it I'm sure!

The PD system actually COMPRESSES the incompressible --(The fuel)-- and it gets Extremely HOT in the process. a Fuel Cooler is fitted fitted by the maker due to this, to avoid melting the plastic fuel-tank!

Ive been making and supplying BioDiesel now for 7 odd years....

Nah, Dont listen to those who dont have experience of something....
