Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

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?

Don't use if your truck is 2007 or newer
I had the misfortune of filling up with B2 (Biodiesel) at the Pilot, North Ft Worth. The pump was marked B2. I asked the woman at the fuel desk if B2 was ULSD. She said "Yes it is and with 10% bio-deisel". I knew right away as soon as the truck started moving something was not quite right. I was only able to drive about 788 miles before I had to refuel. My MPG's plummited to 5.2. This fuel is also blue in color. If your driving a newer truck don't pump this stuff.

Best MPG I got on my Dodge was 17.8. It was the winter mix B20. I get 21-24 with ULSD.

I have heard of getting better with it. Not lately.

If you do run it when you first switch over keep extra fuel filters! I had some algae looking #### in mine 1 time.
