bio Diesel

[Al]

Ryan,
Sure do.. For the 3 or 4 days of winter we have in the deep
south. So you must take into account your usage. For instance, I
just returned from RITV and changed my percentage to account for the
coolness of the nights. Wife does not like taking a cold shower and
neither do I for that matter if you know what I mean. :o> So I
typically blend for the aquahot so I know the racor filter will pass
the biodiesel to the burner. I ended up with B75 when I topped off
at the last flying J before heading over to Perry. Plus I use my
bird almost on a daily basis even if only for 10 - 15 miles.
Biodiesel is not going to hold up for more than 6 months storage so
if you are putting your toy to rest for the winter, better to top off
with Petro. But if you are like me, Biodiesel is the way to go.
Cummins is now saying you can use B5 in older engines and B20 in new
ones. Mark my words, in 2010 when the next round of emmissions goes
into affect, you will probably see higher percentages of Biodiesel
acceptance so they can lower the emissions.
