A recent study conducted by John Lumkes of Purdue University confirms what many already know about biodiesel, it performs flawlessly. The study shows that there is zero difference in performance and durability for semitrailer trucks using B20, an industry standard blend of biodiesel and ultra-low sulfur diesel. “In terms of performance, reliability and maintenance costs, it [...]

I wish the gooberment would mandate atleast a 2% blend of bio into all diesel fuel sold........................lubricity factor would then be comparable to when the diesel had sulfer in it

at school we dynoed a 60series with on road fuel and then did it with bio and it showed no loss of hp

I can't say about HP... but real world driving, I get about 10-15% less mileage on B20-B30.

I won't even consider believing that "so called study" until the government stops "SUBSIDIZING" the bio industry. If they can't make it on their own, without subsidies from Uncle Sam, IMHO they're not a viable alternative in dino diesel!!!

I agree... All the figures I've seen that BIO has always scored lower in the BTU content and high in the cetane.. Take notice the cetane rises the BTU falls... You can't have your cake and eat it too...



So very true...

What bio-diesel subsidy is there? The guy I buy from doesn't get any subsidies. He uses waste vegetable oil.

Are the subsidies for virgin oil?

Straight Bio does have a lower cetain rating then Dino diesel. Bio is a much better lubricant then Dino though. I run 32oz of home brew Bio in each tank to make up for the lack of sulfur/lubricating agent.

I couldnt agree more with whitmore. I wish the government would do the same thing with diesel as they did with gasoline. The lower sulfur content in the diesel now is really affecting the mpgs many new diesels are getting. I also run a bit of biodiesel (somewhere from 1 to 35 gallons ) in my tank to keep up the lubrication just like biohmmwv does.
