Right now Dino Diesel.....but in my travels B100 and B20 when I get near a place listed with the BioDiesel Board's Dealer listing by State.
For you guys blending WVO and gasoline......any problems with the 10% ethanol now in the gasoline? (ethanol contains water....) Although...I think I mentioned in an old post that I once poured a half bottle of Jack Daniels into one of my SDs and it did not skip a beat......good thing for my cars I don't drink anymore!

It's probably that you can click more than one box. I clicked both biodiesel and petro because I usually run B100, but as it cools down, I am increasing the petro into the mix.

B100 and WVO from the time I bought the car 2 years ago with minimal problems. First I changed all the old hoses to vitron as recommend because biodiesel has solvent properties and will eat through old rubber hoses. Also, biodiesel will clean out dino-diesel stuff in your tank so I changed the fuel filter after about a month to avoid the filter clogging issue. If I have to I'll mix in dino-diesel when no biodiesel is available or when the outside temperature drops. I have also used kerosene blended with biodiesel when it gets real cold.
I bought my 300D specifically to convert to WVO. I have driven cross country and back on a two tank WVO system twice and have had no problems with this set up. I have clocked somewhere around 20-25,000 miles on WVO alone and have been happy with the results. Also, the engine runs a lot smoother and it smells good.
