mixing 5 gal B100 @ the pump with #2

below what temperature is it not a good idea to put 5 gal of B100 in the fuel tank of my truck then fill up the rest with #2 diesel and have it mix properly?

In our climate zone you can run up to 50% bio-diesel.

Re: mixing 5 gal B100 @ the pump with #2

how much fuel does the Duramx hold? If its 30-40 gallons like the Fords, you're not even going to be at B20. Its just going to reduce emissions and lubricate at that level-an additive. I wouldn't anticipate any problems with it.

Re: mixing 5 gal B100 @ the pump with #2

26g tank on a shortbed dmax, 34? in a long bed.

I plan to do the exact same thing. Mix in 5g with each tank.

Notice any difference in power Mtomac?

Re: mixing 5 gal B100 @ the pump with #2

Definately not any less in the seat-o-pants meter but not any more either. I run a couple tanks of b20 in my truck each year but I haven't tried it at the track yet.
