I just fueled up at fleet farm and noticed the pump said 5% to 20% bio diesel! I've never used any before, my truck isn't my dd. What do you guys think will happen? Any positive or negative effects of this bio?
I'd run it exclusively if it were available in my area. To oversimplify a little, it has better lubricity than reg diesel, makes up a lot of the lost lubricity from when we went to ultra low sulphur Diesel a few years back. There's a report in an old thread here on FTE showing many of the common fuel additives and the Bio was looking pretty good. As always, it's important to buy from a high volume station in hopes of the fuel being cleaner.
The only thing I didn't like about it when if first came out a lot of companies were selling a kit where you could cook your own. Some people didn't follow the recipe or some thing and the filters would get coated with a white wax like substance. Home made lard actually and would clog the filters.

Commercial grade B5-B20 is nowhere near the same as backyard bio-brews.
That's what Murphy(Wal-mart) sells here in town and it's about 10-15 cents cheaper than ULSD. I run a tank or two of it and a tank or two of the real stuff. I also add Diesel Kleen in with every tank and no issues so far.
