There are many of us out here burning high quality B100 in TDIs without 
injector pump failures Reuben. Again, I believe it to be a mistake to 
suggest that anyone burning B100 in a TDI has a looming injector pump repair 
in their future. It's just not the case, or I'd have know about it long ago. 
Don't buy into yet another urban myth.
