I have read a few articles that 5% BioD seems to be working well as DIJ Pump lube for our new ULSD we're all burning here in the U.S.
Has anyone tried this (B5, B10, B80 or blended BioD into the ULSD)?
My thoughts are that if BioD works well as pump lube, then it should be worth it economically to pick up 55 gal loads.
Thanks

I have used Bio diesel in B5 or B20 for almost three years. No problem at all, the lubricating properties have been substantiated by the government and many others. Check out the link above and it should answer many of your questions and give you more resources to make your own informed decision.

It also helps the US farmer, which I support.
