Good subject. I know little or nothing about it, but have seriously considered looking into it for both Dodges and both Deeres.

I've never get chances to talk to the Edison mechanics anymore, but Edison over in Illinois has been running it now for the better part of a decade. They began running it as a mix with diesel, I think 50/50, but the tags on their fleet tanks all now say biodiesel, and I'm thinking that it's not blended anymore. But I could be wrong. One thing that astounded me was the cost per gallon, since they buy by bulk. I don't remember as its been months, but I happened to see an invoice to be paid, and it wasn't cheap. I don't remember the cost, but it floored me at the time, that I remember. Maybe they're locked into a distributer or something, but what I saw on that invoice wasn't cheaper than fossil diesel at the time, not even close. Next time I see one of their mechanics, I'll pin his/her ear down about wrench time as compared to fossil diesel.
