Touran und A3(8P) für RME völlig gesperrt | Posts 16+

Hello Bertil,

ich habe n i c h t an Dich gedacht bei meinem Kommentar. I'll remember.
the names of the people who are involved in biodiesel, RME (renewable methyl ester), or similar products.
have expressed. However, if you feel addressed by this, ????
I was more concerned with the basic etiquette and manners, and also regarding the above.
Sometimes things get a bit rough here. I just said that it's annoying.
me! I've noticed this style in other forums before, and...
simply ask me more politely.

Sincerely,

Jürgen.

Regarding the topic of 'Biodiesel Quality':

I personally often used to fill my VW Bora (year 2000, engine code PD AJM, 85 kW) with biodiesel and also tried out various biodiesel filling stations.

I noticed that there were significant differences, even though ALL of these gas stations had the same pre-defined logo stickers attached.

The differences were so significant that at one (brand-name) gas station, the car not only smelled terribly of fryer oil and barely had any power; however, the fuel was hardly cheaper than 'regular' diesel. Then there was the 'free auto park' where the biodiesel was, for me, beyond any doubt superior. Not only did I hardly notice any difference in performance, fuel consumption, or starting behavior compared to regular diesel, but the price was also very cheap, being more than 15 cents below the price of regular diesel.

I haven't experienced any engine damage, clogged filters, or other unpleasant side effects in almost 100,000 km; however, especially in 'unfamiliar areas,' finding a good gas station can sometimes be frustrating; or you can simply use the good old standard diesel fuel.

This is just my opinion and is not intended to be the only correct one. Currently (with my 2.5 TDi AFB engine), I don't use biodiesel, but that's because the car is constantly in the workshop due to various problems, and I don't want to risk incurring costs if using biodiesel causes further issues, even though the vehicle is supposedly approved for it.

For me, everyone should do what they want; I've found a solution that works well for me, and I can only share my experience.

Stefan.

Hello Bertil, I didn't have you in mind when I made that comment.

Okay, I understand. But you just explicitly excluded someone, and that's how it sounded.

As long as you're talking to everyone who wants to express their opinion, I have to assume that's the case, right?

"Well, I have a slightly different opinion. Here in this forum, the topic of RME has been discussed quite objectively and civilly (although, of course, there are always a few outliers everywhere). When I look at other forums where there's extreme aggression surrounding the topic, I can't understand your complaint."
In short: The general way people discuss RME bothers you, whether it's here or in other forums. That's understandable, but it's something that can't be changed, as everyone has their own opinion on the matter.

Well, so formal all of a sudden?

...there has already been a preliminary standard or something similar for biodiesel for quite some time. At least, that's what it says at every biodiesel pump where I refuel. I don't understand why this draft or whatever it is hasn't been officially adopted as a standard.

The design adheres to the DIN standard, but the rest of Europe either doesn't want to or can't participate in it.

Perhaps we should check with our Minister for Consumer Protection, Renate K.

... Mrs. K. has very little to do with this. The problem lies one floor above - at the European level.
In Germany, there is a DIN standard for RME (Remote Monitoring Equipment), and Ms. K. is responsible for it.
