damaging bacteria found in diesel - Page 2

Anything that exists or is manufactured by man is not protected from attack or collonisation by natures little helpers.
Without such moulds, bacteriums, extremophiles etc, etc, life on Earth would not exist!
Folk whingeing about their precious cages being halted by something that has found an environment that suits it just smacks of more `godlike` attitudes to their own existence.
We ain`t big and compared to nature we ain`t clever either.
After the time of man this planet`s systems will cleanse it of us and our pollutants but nature doesn`t work it`s magic constrained my mankinds timescales, it`s governed by no-one it played a part in making.

bio-diesel blends are not new, they have been with us since 2009, see http://www.smmt.co.uk/2009/12/smmt-s...low-b7-diesel/

The addition of bio diesel was the root cause of the spate of DPF recalls for 'rising oil level' by most car makers a couple of years ago, including volvo. The issue here is that, during DPF regeneration, some fuel gets into the oil sump. That doesn't matter too much with mineral diesel as it quickly evaporates. But if too much bio-blended fuel enters the oil then bio element doesn't evaporate, it just accumulates, causing the oil level to rise and reducing the life of the oil.

PS Ah, I didn't notice this was a continuation of an old thread started in 2008. That explains the reference to bio diesel blends as 'new'! I'll leave my post up anyway.
