We've been on it now for over a year... one problem occured... filter plugged.. it cleans junk out of tanks... so if you have a dirty tank you need to get new filters once in a while.

we run over 10 diffrnt tractors and a semi and have seen no diff in burn or injection problems at all. and the 1 that had the filter plug.... has a lot of junk in the bottom of the tank and would have plugged up someday anyway.

I quess what I am saying is--- those fleets might have had a problem in there tanks and just didnt know it until the bioDiesel got on board---and then again bioDiesel does jell at a higher temp than normal fuel so it could be just that.

I've been using B2 for 2 to 3 years, summer and winter with no problems. I use Power Service additive in the White 120 on the snow blower to prevent jelling in sub zero temps. I use the Artic premium in the pickup in the winter; don't know if that is B2 or not.

We had it forced on us here in MN by state mandate. A 2% blend state wide that was until the trucks and buses started to plug filters in the cold weather and stall along the roads. Now we have a 30 day exemption until they find out what the problem is. Appears that to meet the state wide need to meet the mandate the biodiesel plants ramped up production and quaility suffered. There are many angry trucking firms in the state of MN right now with huge fuel filter and towing bills

Got an organic dairy farmer nearby runs everthing on B100 he makes himself out used fryer oil and some canola he grows. I think in the winter he blends it 50/50 with kero or winter diesel. He has old Belarus tractors and an early Dodge cummins pickup truck.

I run B10 in my Allis 7000 and am happy with it. There have been no problems with it and I run about 150 hours per year.
