What I have noticed so far is that it seems to be running alot quieter on startup and at warm idle. Its seems to start better too, which I havent heard or remember hearing to this point. I bought ten extra gallons to mix with regular Diesel since there is not BioD in my local area. I've heard mixing a 1/2 gallon with each tank of ULSD helps with lubrication.

B40 or 40% Bxx?
here's the gig.. Bio WILL make you engine run quieter than petro because it restores the lubricating properties lost to LSD & then ULSD... But you only need B2 to accomplish this.
Ford doesn't want you running anything richer then B5 because bio scours the inside of the tank and lines, and deposits this stuff further down the fuel system, IE the injectors..
which the whole thing is garbage, because the Government is trying to get us to explore alternative forms of energy, but the vehicle manufacturers design systems that won't use it...
so who's in the pocket of Big Oil?????
