    I used to run biodiesel purchased cheap at the New Florence, MO station with no ill effects in my Cummins ISX, so now that I have a new Volvo D13, I'm curious to about anyone who has run biodiesel with this engine.

    Note this CARB report:
    http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/biodiesel_benefits.html

    If this report is true, why isn't there more biodiesel at the pump...

    I drive a volvo and it states no biodiesel. But I know that some loves truck stops has bio mixed like 10-15% with ultra low diesel fuel. And when that happens we are supposed to get just enough to get to 100% diesel.

    I don't care what engine you have, I've heard too many horror stories about biodiesel.

    I hear it is very good on the lubrication. but bio has me changing my fuel filter every week instead of every month.
