There is a biodiesel plant underway in Defiance, OH that will be in production in a few months.

Were there ever any long term responses to this old post. I recently bought a 1999 E300D also....I met one local driver saying he had been running B100 for a couple of years with no problems.
I've run about 15 gallons of B100 through mine....but today I found this article.....now I'm paranoid.

(see the 5th paragraph under the blue square in the middle of the article with the BlueTec specs.)
I get B100 at a significant savings over the current local dinodiesel price but don't want to risk my injection pump and seals.
Any real world feedback?
