How stupid. Any diesel engine can run B100 straight biodiesel with out modifications.

Their stupid $30 conversion kit is probably a rubber hose and 2 hose clamps.

But I am glad more manufacturers are jumping on board. Even if they are doing it sloppy.

The problem isn't the engine, but the compatibility of the fuel delivery related components. If one part isn't bio compatible, it will be a failure point. If a mfg states "B20 compatible", it only means it has been tested with B20. It may be capable of a higher %, but the mfg will only state what it has been tested for. They would be wreckless to do otherwise.
