Unfortunately, it was made with Soy so I stopped using it because of it's food product based source. I occasionally visit a friend in Boulder who is well versed in the WVO/SVO/Biofuel fad. I have personally seen cars in his shop and many cars for sale in the Denver/Boulder that have shown exactly how bad the results can be, especially with single-tankers and and those that had questionable "fuel" sources.
It can very easily ruin an otherwise good car with greasy messes and a once-healthy engine with damaged injection components and plugging with carbon.
Now you know a abridged version of my history. Now you may stop spewing lies about me and grow up.

If it would help you get back to using B20 you should know that vegetable oil used for biodiesel production is either non-food grade or from off-spec oilseed. Farmers used to have to throw away their off-spec seed (wrong color, harvested under adverse conditions or at wrong time, bad season, wrong PH, ect). Now they have a secondary income from what used to be a junk crop. Many farms are now pressing their own off-spec oilseed themselves and selling / using the oil and selling the high protein feed cake.
