B20 Biodiesel??

Stopped at Murphy usa this morning to fill up and noticed a new sticker on pump. B20 biodiesel and check with your manufacturer.

I did not fill up but was wondering can we use this or not??

Was at 1/2 a tank and I need to fuel up before hitting CO so I added 1/2 tank of B20 and had less power and my EGT where about 100 degrees higher.

When I noticed it was B20 I added whole bottle of Ford cetane.

Engine ran great and for the last several months no problem.

Probably fine if you run it every now and then but up north everybody is switching to it.

5% is everywhere in Texas.

I can tell you that the vehicles we run on Bio20 and better tend to get about half the life out of their DPF's. If you are deleted it probably wouldnt be a big deal but DPF in...not unless you dont have a choice.
