Biodiesel Blend = B-20?
Fueled up at Murphy USA at Walmart today and noticed a small decal on the pump that states the following.
Is this the same as B-20?
Biodiesel Blend
contains biomass-based fiesel
or biodiesel in quantities
between 5 percent
and 20 percent

Thanks. That's what I suspected.
There was no indication or warning other than a 2"x2" sticker on the pump which was accompanied be the standard 15ppm surfer content sign which is nearly 1 square foot in size. Wouldn't this present an issue for engines not B-20 compatible which I believe most are not except '11/'12 6.7 Ford diesels???

I think you'll be ok. I ran B20 all summer and I found I got less regens. I would only buy from a high volume seller though. My oil analysis came back with .5% dilution and I never got any water out of the separater. Bio has a higher lubricity than any additive can give you and it's American. Just my .02.

Will using B-20 increase the need to change fuel filters more frequently?

I'm sure it's fine in the newer motors. I was thinking for those that can't run B-20. There is a chance I might not have noticed the stickler. Also there was a 6.4L in front of me fueling. Didn't know they were B-20 compatible.
