Hi Patrick,
Like you, I wonder what the long term issues are. I do know you can buy
bio diesel in different mixes, everything from 20% to 100%. Or something
like that. Perhaps it might be good to play around with a tank or two
with the diluted stuff and see if you notice any performance or other
issues? I don't have a diesel anything yet, but I hope to very shortly.
Therefore, I am VERY interested in people's experience with less than
current <g> engines and the stuff.
Steve
