Burned My First BioD This Week

I like it

I do hate that I have to drive nearly 50 miles round-trip to get it...and into a pretty seedy area with crappy, dusty roads.

Running B50 to start. Amazing how much less smoke, smells better, sounds better...watching those filters closely!

I thought BioD was banned in Texas.

Congrats. Welcome to the biodiesel club.

I always get nervous when I switch back to petro from bio, because the engine gets a little louder, and I think something is wrong, but then I remember it's the diesel.

Just a bump in the road.
