I have been using B100 from Taylorsville Shell/Tevis Oil for part of this summer (when I was in the area). Have other users done any testing to determine the quality of the fuel by the time it comes out of this pump? I have shaken up one of my 6gal cans and then filled a glass jar and let it sit; to find one almost imperceptible bead of water in the bottom. After the same number of miles on B100 in my car and pump dino in my fathers, there was far less water in my filter (one BB size drop) than in his (at least 1ml). I understand water is not the only problem, and that is why I am looking for other users.
From what I have been reading it seems many users have turned to their garage and their own chemistry to get good fuel. I’m sure I’m not alone in the concerns I have with fuel supply and the ambiguity of the biodiesel world right now. Some people love it, some hate it; my jury is still out. I like the carbon cycle and renew-ability involved, not to mention I like sticking it to the Wahhabi supporting Saudi’s but, I don’t want to stick my wallet in the hands of the cashier at the repair shop!
Thanks to everyone on this site for gathering good information!
