No problem mixing the two, if you notice at some stations out here the pump says B20 or 20% biodiesel ( or renewable). That's the state mandate , 20% of all diesel fuel must be from renewable sources.

Renewable Diesel

Give Propel HPR a try, my E320 CDI loves it and it's all I buy. It's 100 percent Renewable diesel. I also keep some around the hose, it makes a great cleaner for greasy tool and such.

Mercedes E320 CDI glow plug warning

Got a CEL which turned out to be open circuit, #1 glow plug. So I replaced it, cleared the code, then 1 week later same thing. Could this be the glow plug relay going out?

I've had good luck with Q-Cell 340w panels, solar edge optimizers, an Solar edge inverter. I like their inverters because you can link it to your wifi and monitor them in real time.

Recently had the same problem with my 05 e320 cdi of parasitic drain. Turned out to be the cheap Chinese radio I installed. From what I read the radio is most often the culprit.
