Bio Diesel Blend....

Hey guys, (And Plumber),

Those looking for or concerned with bio blends, Murphy took all the 5% stickers off their pumps. I was fueling when they were doing so and asked if they were going to B5-20 and I was told the Houston area locations aren't doing Bio, never actually have.

Interesting...becuase I've filled up at the one in Spring off of Kuykendahl and 2920 and definitely had some Bio in it. Even if it was 5%, it has a particular exhaust smell you really can't deny.

I now fill up at the Citgo on 2920 and noticed less gunk in the fuel filter and better fuel economy. Filled up today and got 17 mpg running Citgo diesel and walmart 2 cycle engine oil.

It's the Supertech TCW3 Ashless, I'm guessing you're referring to the Penzoil Marine stuff?

No. We're on the same page. It's "Outboard" rather than "Marine."
