5%-20% biodiesel

Most diesel pumps in my area have a 5% t0 20% biodiesel sticker on them.

My Diesel Supplemen states: A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-975 may be used with your Cummins diesel engine. (Chassis Cab models not configured with B20 capability.)

So I've been looking for and using 5% in my 2016 3500 6.7L, but they are hard to find.

The Diesel Supplement also states: A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-7467 may be used with your Cummins diesel engine. (Pickup models and Chassis Cab models configured with B20 Capability.)

However, I can't find anything on my truck that states that it's configured with 20% capability.

It there any way to tell if my truck can safely run 20%? Until I can determine this I'll continue to look for 5% diesel stations. thanks.
