Can I run B20?

[brad barton]

Mike,
I think you'll actually be helping Texas Soybean farmers. The corn's used
to make Ethanol..which is even worse for your car than biodiesel is for your
bus. I'd like to see a consortium of BB owners get together and make their
own biodiesel. I think it's better for engines in the long run, but it has
such a cleaning effect it can clog your filters w/ petroleum residue the
first few times.
Has anyone out there tried "Diesel Secret" where you simply filter used
cooking oil and add a catalyst, usually Lye? Or as has anyone made their
own BioDiesel?
If this subject has already been handled, just point me to the thread and
ignore me.
