Can I run B20?

[fl_bluebird_1983]

You're right Al, I put it out there with a warning. I just didn't
want anyone to stumble on it. There is some "general" info about the
concept of biofuels. Like I said I wouldn't use their recipes. The
biodieselcommunity.org is one of the best "how to" sites out there.
Watch out for the ones trying to sell you something.
