Greetings I was thinking of running biodiesel blends in my 2500 05' but had a few questions. First where I live all I can get is B100. Can I carry a lets say a 5 gallon gas tank of B100 and mix it in with the reg. petro diesel at the pump to achieve roughly B20? Also since its getting cold up here and the pumps are starting to run winter blends do I need to add kerosene to the biodiesel before I mix it to prevent geling? Or does the winter blend diesel make this unnecessary if all I'm blending is roughly B20 or B35? Last but not least do chips like Quadzilla work for biodiesel blend trucks in the same way they do for straight up diesel ones? Or do I need to take the chip out? Thanks for any help.

 

You can mix it like that. Put the bio in first at a fill-up.
You will only need to ' cut ' the bio with kerosene if it wants to gel in your small can.
It appears the boxes that add timing are not haveing a neg effect on them.
Go enjoy it.
Is this on the Cummins or an off brand- like a chevy with glow plugs?

 

I'm running home made B100 in my 99, with the shower head injectors, and the PM3 Comp, and the EZ stacked. Runs GREAT!
Well made BD should be fine until at least 20 degrees. One fellow I heard about, running B100, just keep a little jar of it in the cab and if he gets in on a cold morning and the jar has gell in it, he just doesn't drive the truck that day.
If you cut it with D2, you can probably get away with B50, unless you are in the great white North someplace.

BD will withstand gelling down to the same degree as #2 as long as you use anti-gel additive. Th rough rule of thumb is add extra of the recommended amount of additive for number #2 as the percent of BD.
i.e. if you are using B20 add the recommended additive rate plus 20%
If you are using B100 add twice as much additive.
