I have run several hundred gallons of B20 (20% bio, 80% diesel). We have a local truck stop that carries it. My friend and I are considering doing the "cold process" B100 biodiesel.

I wonder if that is due to the relatively short time frame since conversion? So far I am running straight diesel and plan on continuing unless they just pull it from the market in a fit of green. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to hummech) Post #: 9 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/9/2008 8:25:30 PM    Injunfarian Posts: 696 Joined: 8/5/2006 Status: offline Yes, I currently run B20(only stuff that is available within 20min drive). But that is only a couple months out of the year so i havent really had enough experience to say it doesnt affect everything. but Mannys thread and hummech's link should give you enough info to make your own decision i am sure. _____________________________ eToolSmith Development (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 10 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/9/2008 8:59:53 PM    3hummers   Posts: 11756 Joined: 9/23/2007 Status: offline Injun, what do you do to keep the fuel fresh if you let the H1 sit that long. Will a normal fuel additive work as well on the biodiesel fuel? _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to Injunfarian) Post #: 11 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/11/2008 4:04:06 PM    Injunfarian Posts: 696 Joined: 8/5/2006 Status: offline I am just saying i only use biodiesel for a couple months actually more like 5 months but that is just due to weather dont want the biodiesel gellin' up in my lines but once there is a biodiesel station in my city I plan on running it all year long just I cannot justify traveling 20min to fill up half a tank to cut it with regular diesel to make it B10 for the colder months. _____________________________ eToolSmith Development (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 12 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/11/2008 4:46:20 PM    3hummers   Posts: 11756 Joined: 9/23/2007 Status: offline Just wondering if any of the fuel stabilizers work on the biodiesel fuels. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to Injunfarian) Post #: 13 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/12/2008 7:39:09 AM    hmcoleap Posts: 215 Joined: 6/30/2006 Status: offline My understanding is that performance additives are not nearly as effective with biodiesel as they are with petroleum diesel -- I can't verify that with a solid reference source, though. quote: ORIGINAL: 3hummers Just wondering if any of the fuel stabilizers work on the biodiesel fuels. _____________________________ - -Manny /''T''|[___|___] [---T--L -OlllllllO-] ()_)"""()_)/"**"\)_) http://www.serious4x4.com (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 14 RE: Biodiesel in your H1 - 5/12/2008 8:25:03 AM    3hummers   Posts: 11756 Joined: 9/23/2007 Status: offline Thanks Manny _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to hmcoleap) Post #: 15 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
