Question On ULSD

If everyone is so worried about the lubricity properties of the new ULSD. Can we not just get Biodiesel ??? I know I get B20 at the co-op where I live and I can tell a difference in the sound of my motor when I use it. Sounds smoother and less noisy than when I fill up at the pumps with regular diesel.

If you can get biodiesel by all means run it. For some of us it's not that easy, the nearest biodiesel station to me is around 25 miles away.
I'm thinking about buying a couple of 5 gallon diesel containers and filling with B99 and mixing 2 gallons per tank. Should be around a B5 rating.

I guess even when they come out with the ULSD, they are still going to keep biodiesel around aren't they ??? I hope they dont get rid of bio along with #2 also.

Biodiesel is an excellent lubing property.

Biodiesel will be around until vehicles quit running on petroleum.

CP3 injections systems used since 2003 do not have to worry about ULSD.
