Subject: Ok-- one more time for us chemically-challenged diesel users.......



Oskaloosa, Iowa 52577

From what I can read, using B100-------- 100% soy diesel--------- will NOT harm the tractors, trucks, or whatever diesel engines..........

Might have a few filter problems--------but that Cat 55 is a PITA anyway, so a little money will be spent there.

Will be a little hard to keep from gelling in the winter, but that merely means backing off on the percent.........go to say B05 and add the usual winter additives.

Our fuel supplier is now able to get B100---------and is a little iffy about knowing all there is to know about its use.

He is going to set in a separate tank.  I assume that mixing the B100 with the other fuels while filling a tractor/truck fuel tank is the same as what the terminals would do.

Right now it is much cheaper "here" than road diesel.......and we are entering a period where our diesel use gets real sphincter-tightening at the end of the month when paying bills..........so I would like to get as much relief as possible without the use of extra bran flakes.

And........so I don't have to spend MY valuable time researching it ( :<) )...........how are the road taxes being handled?  Does the supplier HAVE to submit those, and then red dye the other fuel?

What say you?

 

Thanks.
