Can I run B20?

[Mike Hohnstein]

I have researched the viability of bio, straight grease etc. Problem I
can't get over is after 7 or 8 hundred miles from the home base, gotta fill
again. My stash of low buck fuel don't help me then.
I suppose if one has great memories of playing with a chemistry set as a
youngster, add the notion of getting over on "big oil", the tenacity to deal
with a major mess, and just a small amount of grease is a mess, it could
work. However, I'll go to the truck stop for now, not the Flying J mind
you.
