B20 biodiesel fuel use gets a pickup

A cleaner, renewable fuel has been approved for use in Chrysler Group vehicles beginning later this year.
The Chrysler Group announced on Jan. 20 that it has endorsed the use of B20, a 20 percent biodiesel fuel mixture, for use in some model-year 2007 Dodge Ram pickup trucks. B20 fuel used in the Ram must meet the standards specified by the U.S. military.

Initially, the company is approving the use of B20 in Dodge Ram pickups equipped with Cummins diesel engines for its military, government and commercial fleet customers only. The Chrysler Group is working with the government, automotive suppliers, energy providers, universities and independent agencies on a national fuel standard that would make B20 an option for all owners of Dodge Ram diesels.
