Depending on how much biodiesel might still be in the tank, it usually takes me a fillup or two to get back to pure petro diesel after switching from B99 to petro diesel. I like the quietness and smoothness of biodiesel, but prefer the energy content and better fuel mileage of petrol diesel.


My sentiments exactly.

Today, Millie has B30 or thereabouts. On average I've been running B50.

Reminds me, time to run out and fill the cans with BD - I'm down to what's in the tank.
