I don't remember the exact calender dates but the US Gubbment has mandated a minimum bio diesel content over a phase in period. 5 to 10% might be in the range of what we're getting at the pump right now. As for mixtures higher than that, somebody had a link sometime ago...bio D undergoes chemical changes under the pressures of a common rail system.
