    Question

    Just read an article about Bio-Diesel that stated that most diesels could use this fuel with little or no mods. to the engine. How bout our Duramxes? Anyone using this yet?

    I've been running it since I bought the truck. Stopped using in winter, even at low blends. Ran into filter plugging. Run a mix from B50 to B80. I make my own as often as I can. Going to make a 60g batch tomorrow morning. Run great! Just started using in our new motorhome, Blending B20.

    bio-

    Have you had any injector problems? I was woundering if using biodiesel is a lot cleaner than our regular #2.

    38K and No problems. Added pre 2 micron filter to improve filtering. No difference with bio, can be just as dirty. Bio will clean your fuel system just need to check the filter after a few tanks.Just finished making 62 gallons. Will use next spring.

    My one experience (a tank of B20) was completely positive. Best mileage I've gotten so far with the truck.

    Where and how do you make it? Any info web sites?
    Sounds very interesting. What's the cost advantage?

    There is a article in todays Cincinnati Enquirer about 5 or so stations in the greater Cincinnati area having this product. Do not know about the price. Good or bad for the Duramax? Thanks.
