Currently, it's too cold for my comfort to use B99. We usually use B99 when the lows are above 45 degrees. No mods to our GL.

Ah... thanks for clarifying.

Please post your VIN number so the rest of us can avoid your car when it comes on the market.

Hello folks, I am writing from my home made small biodiesel factory made from all types WVO following all the rules UK people suggest (www.oilybits.com) and I feed my ML320CDI with this Biodiesel and run the OBD diagnostics and test on the road at full throttle and the car run smoothly and much more better than with normal diesel fuel from the petrol station.

I produce carefully the biofuel and nothing happens with the engine, so far so good.
