I think I am very-accustomed to the smell! That could be looked at as either a good or bad thing....
I noticed one thing: B20 is nearly clear looking when glimpsed at through a nice new pre-filter. But the standard "Premium #2 diesel" from the Meijer station up the street has a nice green color, and WOW do our cars love that stuff. They sell the cheapest and best diesel in town....I get great mpg's and power with it. Also its far cheapest....2.69 Speedway wants 2.89 to 2.97. It claims "additives for injection lubricity and injector cleaning" and such on the sign on the pump. I don't know about all that but the difference between that and B20 is great in terms of power and such.....I fill to the filler neck and my needle is just leaving 3/4 (barely) with 208 miles driven so far...! |
Note to self. fill up bottle with diesel and lable it cologne for this guy and give it to him for X'mas.
How did you get all that power and mileage when many have said that biodiesel has lower BTU and thus will lose mileage and power? I suspect that your B20 has 20% biodiesel and 80% better diesel than most pumps. I get way worse mileage on Woodman's diesel than other places and I know it is the diesel that is not as good since we are comparing diesel all around. You get sucky mileage with Woodman's diesel and when you change the filling station the mileage goes up and so does the SOTP dyno reading. Go back to Woodman's and the mileage goes down.
