EN590 compliant, our Ultra20 biodiesel is a blend of renewable plant oils and traditional fuel. Ultra20 dramatically reduces a vehicle's harmful emissions, whilst matching the performance of traditional road diesel.
Suitable for use with many vehicle and engine manufacturers, however we would always recommend checking warranty arrangements with specific manufacturers before use.
