I'm waiting for my water heater to kick the bucket, fix it and use it as my reactor.
BTW, I'll replace it with one of them tankless deals

If you want to buy some in the meantime, here are some options.
These are "retailers"

I run the bio every chance I get. I am nto sure of the mix, but it makes me hungry. The fumes smell like french fries. No matter what I fill up with, I always add Drews brew to it. My father is even thinking about using the brew for his new mercedes diesel. Any thoughts??????

Ran bio in my 6.7 lost 2 mph did not seem to have as much power noise level stayed the same and I do not get the normal diesel smell as the old trucks. I do not know what mix it was but around here it is $.10 more per gallon not worth it for me.

I am thinking about giving it a try if I happen on some at a station on my trip across the country. Does anyone have experience with towing with B20? Does it improve, make worse, or stay the same as normal diesel?

B20did not make a difference with me towing 10,000 + pounds. The only difference I have seen is increase in mileage, even towing! I took my small 2 horse trailer about 100 miles this past weekend and got 16.5 MPG and on regular diesel with Drew's Brew, I got 14.5 to 15. The big trailer saw about 1 MPG better mileage at 12 MPG andI usually get around 11 MPG.
I got 22 MPG on my last tank driving empty on the interstate and that is the first time I have gotten over 20.5 on a tank of anything.
That is all the convincing I needed to start running it all the time. Most of the time the bio is 5 to 15 cents cheaper than regular diesel plus you don't have the added cost ofpurchasing PS, MMO or 2 stroke.
