Yes i have been looking for B100 ...B99 will do
Used to buy is right in Mesa where it's made but they shut down there retail pump and went wholesale only.
The last time i bought it i had to buy 275 gallons and have it delivered , that bio took 2.5 years to go through and was very stale by the time i got to the bottom of it.

Is biodiesel any good? I've got a station a few miles from me that serves up many blends of it

pilky350: B100 (B99 in this case) is a great solvent-cleaner .
I run WVO @ 100% most of the year.
This causes problems like a coating inside the tank and failure of the fuel gauge.
Running a few tanks in a row of bio cleans out everything and even gets the fuel tank sending unit working again.
The only downside it will melt some plastics and rubber . some part of some cars and some gas cans and there caps so be careful

PS: if your going to use any version of bio make sure you know the signs for a clogging fuel filter and how much time you have before total failure(i have less than a mile) and have an extra filter or two and the tools needed to change it in a pinch on the side of the road. that "gunk" has to go somewhere........

So it cleans really well? How's the cetane ratings on it? I've wondered about it it's actually
ChePer than regular diesel here I believe when I saw their sigh last. Maybe I'll try a tank of it sometime? Which blend would I want to use? I do have A basically new fuel system besides tanks and lines back from the pump so I don't want anything to damage it

pelky350: I cannot speak to cetane but this is what i know for fact.

1984 Volvo Diesel wagon high mileage (over 450,000 miles)
pump Diesel 41 MPG
WVO 37 MPG
B100 36.5 to 37.2 MPG

1992 E350 IDI (low mileage 10,000 miles on rebuilt)
pump Diesel 19.7 MPG
B100 16.3

Both are bone stock (van and car) and are driven like there's a grandma behind the wheel . mostly city with a few freeway trips a month and never over 70MPH (mostly 60 or 65MPH). think super hypermieling or "the guy you can't stand being behind" ......that's me.
