"Only use diesel fuel with a blend of 5 % biodiesel (B5) or below."
Don't fall for the FUD. I've been running B99 for 15 years in my 98 Jetta TDI. Everyone else had to replace their injector pump because of the switchover to ultra low sulfer diesel. I'm still running my original injector pump with 275,000 miles and counting. Biodiesel is easier on the engine, lubricates better, and smells better. And most importantly it doesn't add CO2 to the atmosphere.

- pacifist 8y agoEvery time I wake up in the morning and I'm still in the good old USofA, everything I touch has a petroleum component associated with it. Before, I was putting a tankful of CO2 into the atmosphere along with its associated manufacturing footprint every time I filled up. For the last 15 years I've eliminated the part that comes out of my tailpipe. One more benefit: no money goes to the Middle East to fund wars and mayhem and the MIC. It stays local and helps the local economy.

- pacifist 8y agoNeither methanol nor B100(B99) are fossil fuels derived from petroleum products.
