Do a search on this site. There are several threads on the subject of bio diesel. No problems using up to B20.

Don't listen to the negative stuff, it ain't true. Just BS rumors. Bio diesel is a good thing.

It's a good thing until the majors start selling it. Then watch the price zoom!

I think willie would put his name on a can of dog food right now. He still owes the IRS a rather large chunk of change, but if it gains publicity for bio than great. More power to him. I would do the same thing.

The only minor concern about using the bio is, it will remove some of the built up junk in your fuel tank/system. Keep a spare filter in the truck, and maybe wait to run the bio for a couple of tanks just prior to your next planned fuel filter change.

Zoom down my friend, most likely...
Big problem with BD in the country is lack of quality (& legislation) which is one of the big reasons major manufacturers are not too keen on it.

Not true.
All commercially sold BD in the US has had to meet ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards since 1994.

Haha dhe. Yeah, it's mtv-bonics. It's short for disrespect, which in the English language isn't properly used as a verb - although it's become so widely used coloquially, such as in rap music and black culture, that it's become accepted (in some circles ) I think forrest was probably kidding though Anyone who likes W. Nelson most likely does not use the word dis seriously

dis

lightman,

i should say up fron that i certainly mean no "dis" to Willie, hell half the people on this board can't spell. i just found it strange that someone would pick that out of my message vice the topic of bio-diesel. i mean if bio is good for the godfather of country then it is good for me.

some folks need to get a life.

long live the godfather of country!!
