Too much! one liter diesel costs 14.20 SEK, and one USD is 6.55 SEK, so that will be 8.1 USD/gallon if i have done the math right.. i think that nearly 80% of that is taxes :mad:
Canola based biodiesel called RME goes for 12.50/L and i use that sometimes, smells nice (btw, how does cummins engines like this fuel, are the hoses resistant to it?)
Gas costs 13.60/L and E85 ethanol 10.00/L
but i buy my diesel from a farmer for 10SEK/L it's green coloured low tax diesel, has a higher amount of energy and contains small amounts of sulphur (the regular on-road diesel is sulphur free here) the green one isn't road legal, but i've never heard that the police cares about it anyway.. 8)

I can get you just the nozzles, or the whole injector. Just nozzles would run almost around the $300 mark though, possibly a tad more.

Our off road diesel is died red and a big fine if they decide to sample and find you running it.

oskar--14.20 kronor/liter!!! i hope with all those taxes you have nice roads to drive on...i have used a lot of biodiesel (commercial, not home made) in my truck, no problems at all, runs better and gets 1-2mpg more. i have heard of biodiesel loosening sludge in the fuel tank and causing trouble, otherwise these trucks do well with it. i had best luck with economy using stock injectors and careful tuning (fuel screw and pin, starwheel, timing) working in small increments. my 190 injectors improved performance, but not economy; same with 3200 governor spring.

Thanks, i tried to search on internet for this nozzles but didn't find them even on Ebay, will check if they can get them at my local bosch-service shop, depends on how much they want for them i may order a set from you..

What application were these fitted to?, marine or a generator?

Yep, taxes are high on almost everything that has to do with motor vehicles here, the green politicians hate people like me, and i hate them to.. :D
But, i wouldn't complain over the taxes if i knew that all that money was used to build new roads and improve the existing ones, but unfortunately only a small amount of all that tax income goes to that, and when they build something new, they put safety and environment in first place, that means more pedestrain walkways, more roundabouts and more "2+1 roads" i hate them because there is limited possibility to pass slow vehicles while driving in the 1-lane. they look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2B1_road
But it's not only negative, we have quite good standards compared to many other European countries, and best of all, we have NO toll roads at all! Every new highway that is built is open for everyone. though i would prefer that they take some kind of road tax from foreign truck drivers using ur roads.

Sounds good that i can use biodiesel, it's more aggressive to rubber so that's why i'm concerned if the rubber components inside the pump is resistant to it, but they should be, my audi with a bosch VE-pump is approved for B100

Marine application, now there are 3 different part numbers that will be found under the Marine 190hp application and they vary greatly in size.
