Question B20 Color ?

I bought a tank full of B20 in Victorville, Ca. and was displeased to see it was bright YELLOW ~ is this a normal color for B20 Diesel fuel ? .

TIA,

Color of biodiesel can vary depending on the oil feedstock from which it was produced.

Thumbs up

Thanx Philly ! .

I'm always worried whenever I see not clear Diesel fuel with a slight blueish tint in the clear plastic intake screen .

Right now that car is just sitting with the Biobor doing it's thing.....

I'm working on and driving my 300TD gray market .
