Can I run B20?

Mike,
That is the beauty of Biodiesel. It will work in any form of
mixture with the petro diesel. When you are outside of your range,
suck it up and pay the big bucks for dino diesel. You don't have to
return to home base full so leave enough to get you home.Then start
filling her for your next trip. :o>
