Notes on auxiliary heater operation on vehicles with diesel engine
Problems with auxiliary heater operation may be encountered in cold weather (usually the only conditions under which the auxiliary heater is switched on) if use is made of vegetable-oil or rape-oil methylester as fuel.
Reason:
–  On account of the physical properties, deposits may form during operation with vegetable-oil or rape-oil methylester in the auxiliary heater combustion chamber (burner element). These then cause combustion problems if the vehicle is run for lengthy periods on vegetable-oil or rape-oil methylester (no flame formation and deflagration in combustion chamber).
