b99 report
well i did it. i went and filled er up with b20 yesterday in the front tank. drove it about 150 miles. then today went and filled the rear all the way with b99 and topped off the front tank.
i like it. the b99 is .40 cheaper a gallon here than #2 diesel is. which is 3.38 and b99 is 2.99.
it appeared to be green in color while i was at the pump. i will drain fuel bowl later and take a comparison pic and post it.
so far about 220 miles on bio and i like it. not to mention its right here from the good ol usa
!!!
now on to the good stuff. the exhaust almost smells like a racing fuel exhaust smell now or rc car exhaust. i like it.
it still smokes the same under accleration.
and seem to be getting around the same fuel cosumption going off gauge to miles driven. havent done any math yet that will come later.
but no bad effects to report my motor hasnt blown or clogged the fuel filter so i guess thats good.
anyone considering it should give it a look especially if its cheaper in your loaction.
to see if its sold in your location
ill post pics shortly.

i had a bottle from a week ago of regular diesel that was drained from fuel canister.
along with a bottle of b99 from today.
i shook both bottles. the b99 coats the inside of the bottle very good and doesnt run off the sides. (kinda like pepto bismol)
the regualr diesel did not do this.
the lubrication is definitely there in the bio.
having issues with fte album right now.
but the bio is darker than regular diesel. a drop on your finger is a yellowish green. but in the jug is very golden brown.
btw b20 is more expensive than b99 by .20 fwiw.
