Took the truck in for a few warranty items, and decided to run it in with minimal BD in the tank. Maybe it was B2 or something......

Anyway, I really noticed a difference in lack of smoothness, and a lot of smell on regular diesel. I guess I blended up to B25 or so slowly, and didnt notice the big difference.......until now.

Adding Biodiesel as soon as she comes back from the dealership............

I did the exact same thing...warranty work....filled up ULSD(without additives) at ARCO.

I swore something was wrong. BD makes that much of a difference.

At these prices I am moving up to B50.

What are you paying for B100?

Do you blend it yourself or what?

Last time it was 3.40 at twbrown oil.

This time I am going to buy from Imperial.....just called and price went up!!!!

3.00 per gallon for the drum purchase...I am going to do it..have to call back Friday.

Is that the place out in Coachella Valley? IWP?

Have you checked out leoco.com?

Same place but I think I talked to the wrong guy...So I will call when I think its Gary who is supposed to be in the know.

I do think the price went up...I let you know Friday if your interested.

When I called, IWP was not licensed to sell biodiesel. They only make it. lee escher oil co. is across the street from them, so leoco sells the stuff IWP makes......

I dont remember who I spoke to, but I dont think it was gary.

Imperial or supreme biotane?

Here is a link for some of you:

LATER!

Thanks for the link Bodysurfer! I might just have to give the stuff a try!

Try it once, and you will never go back to streight diesel again.

I know its been said before, but Ill say it again......

I had perodically checked my balance rates before BD. Ive been lazy lately, and just been filling up out of the BD container. Its on ~B50. I checked the balance rates today, and 7/8 were +-2. I had #7 at 3. All much lower than on petrol diesel.

Im making a trip soon, and will be forced to run on the crap diesel, so Ill look again..........

She just runs better as the blend goes up.................http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gif

Have you considered taking a few jugs along with you?
Last out of state trip, I had the back loaded with a few jugs of BD. Also planned the stops around the open times of BD dealers along the way. Made a real difference in soot levels.

Ya, I just might do that........I just wont have much room in the bed for 5g containers.

I guess Ill just have to start the trip on a high BD blend......bummer
