Changes when runnign Bio-Diesel???

[BigWill_21]

A local Shell is selling Bio-Diesel now for 2.99 a gallon.. Standard #2 is 3.39 a gallon.. IIRC it's B20...

Anyhtign to do different filter or tunign wise for this stuff???

I'd keep an extra filter with you. The solvent action of bio tends to clean your fuel system and send all the crud down stream quickly clogging your filter.

 

[robertleeii]

extra fuel filter right?

My truck really likes B20, much less rattle. No changes to tuning at all.

Dammmmm, its still 10 cents/gall more than what diesel is in Co Springs. 3.50 ish.

I'm in the same boat. I think about an hour away is as close as it gets. Sorry, but I ain't driving that far for fuel. Would be a waste of savings then.

 

[Buccanoles]

Can you switch back and forth between #2 and Bio?

 

[LBZ]

X2! Can you switch??

 

[Turbotug]

Why wouldn't you able to? They sell it mixed at the pump. B5, B20, etc.

 

[LBZ]

I know nothing about bio-diesel. What is B5, B-20? What do the different #'s mean??

 

[draftee]

B-5% B-20%

 

[LarryJewell]

I haven't seen any Biodiesel around here, how many of ya'll are running it?

 

[Diesel Pilot]

You can mix it run, run full B100 if you can find it, but I'd only do that in the summer for now. Some stuff is being develeoped that will help Bio from gelling.

I run B20 about every 2-3 tanks. The problem is around here Bio prices flex with oil prices. So no matter what beans cost, B20 is always 5 to 10 cents more than on-road. It also doesn't help that Bio is hard to come by, I'm just lucky to have the station close to my house.

Hopefully that will change shortly.

O gelling you say!! No wonder it's not very popular up here!!
