i think it runs better on bio maybe a little less power. maybe its just the less smoke that throws me off. i changed my filter after about 3 tanks. had sand type settiment in the bottom of my filter bowl. bought a crows foot, removed the stand pipe and cleaned it out and it hasnt been back. i guess it cleaned my lines. you may want to cut it with dino if it gets cold where you live like under 40 or so. dont ask me how i know. or add a bottle of diesel kleen in winter months.

how long have you been doing it?
hmm off and on for almost 2 years minus the 8 months i was gone.

B100 exclusively?
well yeah when i run it i usually fill both tanks which are pretty much empty so i am not cutting it perse. the only reason i dont buy it every fill up is the station is 20 miles away by my wifes work. not always there when i need fuel.

how much does it run you per gallon?

cheaper than dino by about .20 last time i got some about a month ago.

change in MPG?
havent tracked it. seems to be about the same. runs great and quiet. less smoke with the mods i have. smokes about the same a regular injectored chipped truck would. smells gooooooooood. you will stand by your exhaust and smell it i know i do. i have yet to have anyone comment on it though.

could i possibly ask more questions in one post? i would be curious too. nothing to be afraid of. you will like it dont be shy.

message to short so i will type some down here ok long enough

btw i have a cfn account which is where i get my bio from but it required me to get a special b99 card to purchase the b99. for what reason i dont know. although i could get b20 with my regular card. also at my station b99 is cheaper than b20
