Been burning it in the pickup for over four years now and the TDIs for 2.5 and 3.5 years. Just got the 300TD a few weeks ago. The MB came to us with more than a half tank of the Devil`s Tea (stinky stuff to my nose) so after a hundred miles or so I topped it off with B100. I thought the car ran and sounded great up to that point but after the B60 or so blend reached the engine it calmed and quieted down in a real and measurable way. Smells great now too! :p

After half a tank I can see some desolved petro-crud in the prefilter so I`m gonna keep an eye on it and change out both filtes after a few tanks of B100. The inter-injector lines will be replaced with Viton next weekend. We plan on keeping this magnificent vehicle till it won`t run any more. The change to a vegitarian diet should give it a few more years of service.
