have run bio for almost a year no bad effects.

I buy mine commercially mixed with diesel and so far everything is okay notice almost nothing different. I have a SVO conversion that Im making and just made a tank template to see how it will fit. Need the heat exchanger for tank, relay for transfer valve and perhaps a pump to circulate the oil to keep it warm.

BTW the good thing about the bio was the emissions test I had done recently to get my insurance renewed.
The maximum opacity should not exceed 30. Is that 30 ppm? I will use parts per million for referance if thats what it is.
The average for all diesels is 19ppm. My vehicle passed with 40% bio in the tank at 1.6 ppm!!. That is unbelievable for a emission reading.
So not only am I saving a little bit of money over regular diesel I am helping the enviroment and reducing green houses gases at the same time.
Recomend bio to anyone in ares where the temp does not go below freezing
