Hey everybody. I've been searching through this forum and I haven't seen anything on this issue in at least 3 years.
I've got a "fully-warranted and EPA-registered biodiesel – meeting national ASTM quality specification D-6751" producer in my county. I bought $30.00 of B20 from them yesterday (at a minimum of $.20 less than regular diesel). So far, so good.
I'd like to go with B100 in my '85 M1009 (minimum of $.40 cheaper, renewable resource, not funding questionable foreign governments), and I'd like to know what mods are required. Replace the fuel related hoses with viton? More frequent filter changes at first as the gunk is flushed out? What about the IP? Does anyone have any current, long-term use data?
PS I'm in GA so we don't get really long, cold winters, and I could switch to dinofuel then anyway.
