Theres a dozen lengthy threads on the subject and the answer is yes - just throw it in.

50/50 SVO to diesel in summer is safe as houses, less or 100% diesel in winter.

it says "2-Tank-Kit" if i have picked it up right in other threads is that you can get away with SVO as long as you mix it and not go 100% as it must be a problem with starting, my mate has a Disco and it advises a 2-tank system he went from 50/50 and had no bother and running better then ever so he stopped putting diesel in and so in the end it was 100% and running great but the next morning it was cold and had problems starting so he said putting a tenner of diesel does the trick.

im running 100% bio with no problems and my mate has a 2000 model and he is on 100%, i reckon put it in and enjoy getting one over the treasury for a change.

Iceman thats the reality.

Two-tank kits might be a good idea if you want to run 100% SVO all year round. Other than that, 50/50 is a no-brainer in the 2.7.
