In Response To: Re: Bio Diesel (Butch Fryling)

Bruce: I haven't had any marine experience, but my experience on land has been very favorable with both B20 and B100. I think that the main issue is gasket compatability on older engines. Right now in my area taxed B20 sells for @$2.49, while "regular" taxed diesel is at least 10 cents per gallon more. B100 or straight soydiesel is @ $3.46. B100 is nontoxic to the environment, so I think that the EPA will give it a hard look for marine use in the future. B20 gets rid of all of the sulfur smell from both the unburned and burned diesel. It has the same low temp gel characteristics as regular diesel with increased lubricity. My oil has stayed much cleaner because the fuel burn cleaner. My farmer has been using it in his older equipment for several years now with no adverse effect. He did have to change his fuel filters often for the first few weeks as it cleans all of the sludge buildup out of the fuel system. Check out the biodiesal website. it has a lot of warranty info from various manufactures as well as other interesting info on the subject. Rawleigh
