Biodiesel is slightly heavier than diesel fuel. It might be better to "splash" the B20 on top of the diesel. Or you could load the Biodiesel on top of 1/2 tank. then fill up. That way you could end with a full tank. Also 32oz of B100 on top of 4.75 gallons is B5. If B100 is available you could...

Most Biodiesel sold at the pump is ULSD with B100 added (B5 = 5% B100)
IF you go to the link I posted you will see test results that prove when B100 is added to ULSD at a ratio of 2% (B2) lubricity improved significantly.
Using B100 as an additive (2% B100) results in less wear on fuel...

biodiesel is a little heavier than d2 and would mix better if "splashed" on top.

biodiesel lubricity

They will not have a market till they offer the car here.
Fuel prices are creating the market. Toyota has cultivated the market for their Prius with a good warranty, a high tech car, and fuel economy. There is a lesson here. The US automakers do not give the public enough credit. The economy...

My car seems to run a little better on the fuel.
It is priced a little higher but not much. (around 10 cents)
The station does have a sign out front that says
"Premium Diesel" and a sticker on the pump advertising "Amoco Premier".
I was hoping...
Engine oil heater
Installed a Wolverine Oil Heater. If installed correctly, these will not come off the oil pan.
If left on overnight, the engine is warm, not just the oil.
Also there is less engine wear on startup with warm oil.
The 9.1 fits a BRM oilpan. only 125 watts.

Fueled today at a BP station that advertised "Premium Diesel" (Amoco Premier Diesel)
There is a video on this site that shows BP premium as being clear in color.
The fuel I bought today is yellow in color as viewed in a 3oz clear bottle.
It does not appear to be the same fuel as in the...
