Bio Diesel follow up

I did notice that a lot of the stations with bio Diesel had bags over the handles, but non of the conventional ones did.

No more bio for me in the winter.

Sometimes when it?s really cold the fuel comes out the pump like slush even on regular diesel

I love bio diesel. It has been VERY good for my business. 20-30% of the work I do is freeing up stuck pumps. I can always tell if it is bio diesel, it has a very different smell when it ages. It gets very thick, and does it pretty fast when in a tractor that isn't used often. I am to young to retire so keep it flowing! Al

Minnesota runs 20% bio I?m summer, 5% in winter.

It works and it?s worthwhile for our own selves, but a person has to keep up with it just a little bit.

I agree with you not too much bio over winter!

Even a 2-5% bio sure helps make up for the lack of sulfur in modern diesel, so running without any has some i negatives too.

The only people that pretend to like bio diesel and ethanol are the ones making money off of it.

Since they've added ethanol around here around 2000, I no longer have to buy gas line anti-freeze. Used to have to buy a gallon of that junk every winter and still fought with water getting into fuel filters etc. Haven't even had to think about that problem in years.
