Default B100

Anyone running pure B100 (pure soy)? I can get it from a home heating oil dealer down the street for roughly 50 cents cheaper per gallon than Diesel, that includes the road taxes so it's 100% legal. I've run B20 a few times and couldn't tell the difference, but the pure B100 makes me a little nervous.

the only thing that i have heard and this is from the president of the soybean association in our area so it is from a bean promoter is that pure soy oil is somewhat corrosive and can cause damage to some types of plastics. have heard a few in the area running the oil but have not seen any in the shop with any problems but am avoiding the pure soy because of his recomendation but heck i have been running the wvo in the truck for a while now and so far so good but that is not a soy base product either .

I've run maybe 10 tanks of B99 in the last 18 months. Most of the fills were 30+ gallons. No problems whatsoever. Besides the nice aroma of stir-fry, you do get a little less mpg.
