Can I run B20?
Ryan,
Since this is a new to you bus, I would strongly recommend you not
use the biodiesel on your voyage back home. Because biodiesel has a
cleaning effort on the petro carbons left in your system, they will end
up in your filters. Do the conversion when you safely made it back to
your home so you will have access to all the tools and what not you
need. Chances are you will not have a problem but I would not take a
chance. Plus you need to know how the bus performs before you
complicate matters.

As for buying biodiesel from commercial pumps, usually you will
find the cost will probably be more than petro diesel. If you make it
yourself, your cost should be about $0.66 a gallon. No time /
equipment included in the calculation.
