This was my quote from a tuning thread but it would be better over here I think.

DAMN!!!
1: Both my daughter and I swear it runs quieter!
2: The nasty raw fuel smell is mostly gone!
3: The smoke on cold start-up is less than half of what it was on DinoDiesel!
4: The idle smooths out faster right after cold startup!
5: The slight smoke on warm startup is gone!
6: And it feels like its running stronger, but all this might be from the BioDiesel cleaning things out (as all the Biodiesel Info online said it would) rather than the fuel itself, but the info sheet they gave me when I got it also said to expect more power with the Biodiesel!
7: All this and it's the right kind of fuel ecologically speaking?
I am 100% sold on biodiesel!
Well now.
After running it down to empty to get as much of the DINODIESEL/BIODIESEL mixture out of it I can, and then topping it off with the straight BIODIESEL, and after running the full tank of BIO down to 1/4 I still get the Dinodiesel exhaust smell, although not as much, but it's still there, just like the smoke issue.
Well, it appears the person at the fuel counter that told me it was 100% SoyBiodiesel did not know what they were talking about as after calling them back I found out that their "BIODIESEL" is only an 11% blend!
W.T.F?
They put 10% Ethanol in Gasoline and still call it Gasoline, not Ethanol!
And after taking a closer look on that stupid (perhaps I should now call it silly) silly little Biodiesel finder web site, it seems all you need is 2% Biodiesel added and they call it Biodiesel, and none of them have more than 11%!
THAT'S 89% OF THAT SAME OLD DINOCRAP!
They should call it "Blended" or B11 as it's not 100% Biodiesel, hell, I'd even be happy if it were 85% Biodiesel like Ethanol is 85% and it's called E85!
The pump had warning signs on them like "BEWARE THIS IS TOTALY DIFFERENT" but nowhere did it say it was only 11 friggen %!
I feel a little, scamed, cheated, or mislead!
How can adding 11% (hardly more than a drop) of Biodiesel make Dinodiesel into Biodiesel?
They act as if if it's such a big thing (OOOOO, LOOK, BIODIESEL)!
The inprovement I saw so far makes me wonder how much better it would be on 100% Biodiesel!
I guess it's a step in the right direction, but it made me feel like the big oil company was watching while I purchased it thinking it was pure and was snickering behind my back!
Anyone know where I could get some B100?
