From a link in one of the Bio Diesel post, I see that one of the local stations is selling Bio Diesel. The listing had a column this the blend and it just said B2. Is this mean 2% bio diesel or 100% bio diesel that is rated like #2 diesel. I drove by their pumps and checked it out and it doesn't say. Just has a sticker on the pump that says Soy Diesel.

I would like to run some bio diesel in my truck (2006) to help with lubrication issues and to avoid giving any more of my money to the terrorist supporting oil countries, but I don't want to run 100% bio diesel. Would like to stay within the 5% range but maybe up to 20% if the truck reacts well to it.

B2 = **2% bio to 98% diesel.
B20 = 20% bio to 80% diesel.
B100 = 100% Bio.....etc.

Thanks Shovel, that kind of what I thought, but wanted to make sure before I ran any of it.

The percentage of ethanol in gas is designated the same as BD
E5 = 5%, E20 = 20%, etc.
