Bio-diesel fuel question:

[rbgarr]

Can this fuel be used with a turbo diesel successfully? Does bio-diesel fuel tend to grow organic matter in the tank faster than regular diesel? Any links/info is appreciated.

TIA

Yes. Yes.

Any other questions? :D

Actually, one problem with biodiesel that I don't see mentioned much is that the stuff just don't work when it's cold. Below a certain temp (don't know offhand where, exactly) it starts to look exactly like what it is.... Congealed fryolator oil. Some poeple who use it in the winter mix it 85% real diesel/15% biodiesel. Some of the benefits of the biodegradable stuff without the tankfull of lard..
