Where'd that poor boy get B100 around here?

Pretty interesting how guys from the south can't handle the cold or at least don't know what to do in it.

 

I'm thinking of the $$$ just in fuel bought twice, the B100 he tossed out and then the Winter Blend he had to fill up with after the fact.

I'm guessing the towing and shop charges were just a tad above that combined expense.

 

Good night everyone.

 

he got b100 somewhere in RI, right near CT border. i dont know what he was thinking anyway, it was an old roach and im sure if the bio stayed in he would have been dropping fuel lines by the end of the tanks.

30 minutes 'til FRIDAY!

 

That's interesting because I'm interested in trying out a little B100 in my truck this summer. No I'm not dumb enough to try running it in winter. We've got enough gelling problems with this crap ULSD gelling up before it's supposed to.

 

do you run any additives, like howes?


night all.

 

Good morning Ct. Happy Friday!

 

additives are a must, i have been mixing 2 stroke oil with power services white bottle, 1 quart of the 50/50 mix per tank - no issues yet!

be careful putting any amount of bio in your truck, it has a washdown effect that de-algaes the fuel lines and tanks and washes it all up into the filter. its not uncommon to clog 3 filters within one fuel tank after putting bio in. also.....it "dissolves" rubber, so the fuel lines will get spongy and blow out unless they are changed out to the special ones.

i was just really suprised he found it cheaper than regular #2, around here its like $2 more per gallon...NOT WORTH IT!

congrats Mr. President!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

 

A quick good morning to all of my buds in CT..... hope that it is a good one for all

 

Morning CT...what's up???

 

notta damn thing kenneth!

hittin the beer store today like gangbusters

 

Sounds like you do have some plans for the day though!!! As for me...I'm off to the rockpile to enjoy my day off!!! See 'ya!!!

 

yeah i know additives are a must in the winter. and i know when you run bio you have to run different material fuel lines. i didnt know about the filter clogging part. i dont own a diesel so i dont know too much about what additives to run and stuff, but im no idiot. lol.

thankfully its friday!!!!!!! i heard 50's on saturday?! shorts and t shirt weather lol. i guess the trucks gettin washed. its about time. i was gunna change the reg color from dark green to two tone dark green/road salt.

My thoughts on the Biodiesel:

I wonder if the B100 place was selling off the remnants of his stock and thus the steep discount.
And any reasonable person would have only added a few gallons of the B100 to make their own B5 or B10 blend.

When available at my local fueling station I buy their B5 all the time - and - regardless I run diesel fuel treatment all year long.

Diesel Fuel Supplement® +Cetane Boost is most prevalent around my area, but it doesn't mention biodiesel applications.

I prefer Stanadyne Performance Formula and that's what I'm using now - but - I don't go out of my way to get it, nor order it shipped to me.
It says "Can be used with Bio Diesel Fuel up to B5 (5% bio content approved ) - increased water separation shown in bio content up to B20."

I hope with my 'daily' dose of 'vitamins' that my fuel system will remain healthy and not sloth off anything as Aaron mentioned.

As for Ford's endorsement of Biodiesel in my 2006, the Diesel Supplement Owner's Manual says:
