Interesting topic. I have three MCE cars that Millar put in maybe 15 years ago or so. They too used an early version of the bio D vegetable oil (VEG2?)which #1 stinks something fierce, and #2, the reservoir tanks on the inside ribbing supports and tops of motors looks like thick layer of fine back silt. I believe this oil has a short life and is breaking down, hence the stench and silt. No known valve issues yet, but the customer has paid to have a different type of biodegradable oil replaced in one unit as it was inside the building and the tennents could smell it. This vegetableqw oil was a seemingly good environmental selling point then, but now...I don't know for sure.
