My 2008 owners manual says only Bio diesel up to 5% allowed. I have recently travelled through Illinios and could not find and bio that qualified, i am curious how have others handled this, I have a trip planned into ontario does anyone know what i can expect there, here in michigan i have never seen bio diesel.

There is bio here in MI. In Fowlerville ( 30 minutes E of Lansing ) we have B5,20,50, & B99. Why do you need it? Apparently it is not very good for our engines ( Super Duty ) My running it may be the cause of an issue with my truck I am currently trying to diagnose. Good luck !

Ive been running homebrew b100 for 50k miles in a 04 6.0
I dont see what all the fuss is about. She has 180k on the ticker now. I do have one injector sticking on first startup each day, but smooths out. That is the only issue, and at 180k probably not due to the bio

I switched from #2 to B100 and I'm on 15,000 miles. Actually runs better. Just keep up with changing your fuel filters and you'll be good to go.
