Important Truckers Forum Notice!

Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

The truck I'm running now is a 2001, I haven't had any problems with it running Bio-diesel. The older trucks in the fleet are having leaky tank troubles and the filter gunking, but they had that with ULSD fuel, too
. The filters have quit causing trouble in the older trucks now.
I think the truck gets better mileage on bio than ULSD but it's hard to tell, sometimes the trailers pull harder than other times, the live-haul trailers always pull harder. I'm one of the few to get a mileage bonus and I try to use bio all of the time.
