If the Bio's made properly it won't have any glycerine in it. The reason you convert it to Bio is to get rid of the glycerine. I know a lot of people don't like it but I've done 1000's of miles on it and never had any problems.

thats what i thought as well, glycerine is removed during the process of creating it, makes good soap and stuff.  the first few tanks of bio diesel usually free up old junk from regular fuel causing clogged filters and stuff, after that they're fine.

Yea i agree, ive got mine hooked up to my throttle so they never stop moving.... And here i am, with stuck vanes

my vanes are stationary, and ive been smiling for years..

Well thats fine and all but if i was gonna do that then i woulda stayed with the wastegated turbo i had on it.

idk of such a conventional turbo that spools early, and pulls high..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I've gotta second that. If BD is made and washed properly it will have next to no glycerine. That all comes out in the wash/settling process. (and also depends on how well the maker titrates his batch)
