I have a 1998 Series 60 12.7L. According to this link http://www.pcmarinesurveys.com/Biodiesel Detroit.pdf, I shouldn't use more than B5 biodiesel. But when I'm doing runs to Oregon, there's only B20 biodiesel everywhere. Is there anywhere in Oregon to avoid B20 biodiesel, or is B20 acceptable for this engine?

You will be fine ... except when the tax man comes a callin. Most of the time it is better to buy fuel out of Oregon than in and pay the ifta.
If you really wanna chooch up your ol detroit. Throw some marvel mystery oil in the tank. Has tons of sulfur in it ... like the good ol days. -
If your bus is registered over 26000 pounds you should be paying the weight mile tax but I suspect you’re not. And fuel in OR has to be bio diesel thanks to a bill passed a few years back.

Point wasnt that bio has a different tax rate ... Point was, I run Oregon weekly. Depending on where you fuel. The Oregon PUC price is higher than Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California less ifta.

Also can you use R100 "Renewable Biodiesel" in a Series 60? Detroit doesn't mention: https://dtnacontent-dtna.prd.freigh...troit Renewable Diesel Position Statement.pdf.Last edited: Mar 15, 2020

B5 diesel found at Flying J Oakland and Love's Roseburg. That should fix the problem.
