Have a friend who uses B100 in all his diesel equipment from Belarus tractors to 5hp single cylinder engines to his 92 D250 Dodge Ram pickup. He makes the stuff him self out of waste vegtable oil and/or canola that he grows himself. The only problems he had was pluged fuel filters when he first switched and an occasional rubber seal failure. In the winter he blends his B100 with winter pump Diesel and Kerosene to keep it from gelling. I think he said his pickup has over 400,00 miles on it and as far as I know he's had very little work done to it. I don't think the engine has been worked on at all. I do wonder how the engines are warranteed in places like Germany and Cheklosovakia that have only B30 available at the pumps. As far as I know Biodiesel is non corrosive to metal parts and has more lubricity and cleaner than petrol diesel.
