Question about Biodiesel
So, per a discussion in off topic, I was curious as to how many of our members have experience with biodiesel. We have such a huge diesel crowd, im curious as to how many people have dealt with it.
I will admit that I dont know much about it, although Ive seen it produced on television. Is there any noticable difference in performance when running biodiesel?
Thanks for the opinions!

RE: Question about Biodiesel
Cummins has certified the engine to run on B5. . .I know guy's on other forums that run B99-b100 all the time.
the main reason why the B5 certification is that Bio fuels dont undergo the same evaluations and restrictions that normal fuels are. so the cetane, lubricative properties, and BTU factors can swing wildly.
have I run it. . .no I havent, but I would if it were more prevelant in my area.

did they give the grounds for cancellation? i would think that in the refining system that i saw, there would be some bi-product of the cooking process that may end up passing through the fuel system.

RE: Question about Biodiesel
It's hard to get without over paying for it where I live. When I have found it, I do run it. No noticeable difference. I don't' see any power loss OR decrease in milage. It may have been my imagination, but I swear I had an increase in milage. I didn't do any numbers, so I have no proof of anything. If anyone has any leads on reasonably priced Bio-Diesel - please feel free to drop me a line.

RE: Question about Biodiesel
I've been running B20 in my truck since August of last year. It runs better than petro diesel, I don't have to add any additives to the fuel because it has better lubricating properties, it cost 10 cents less a gallon and 20% of the money I spend on fuel now stays inside the US, instead of foreign countries and greedy oil company pockets.

RE: Question about Biodiesel
I have ran straight waste vegetable oil in my truck. The only problem I have encountered was the weather too cold and I blended too much. I am going to start again when the weather warms up. I need to work on a pump system of some sort as I am going to get some drums tomorrow for storage. When I was running thewvo I had no noticable difference in power or mileage. I would like to get a 2nd tank and do this the way people say it has to be done. but I think after summer time I might be able to have the budget for that if all goes well. until then I will just get it and poor it in, again once the weather is right.
