No warranty left.

Any harm?

Thanks

Plenty of harm.

MB limits biodiesel to B5.

Note that injectors are $750 each on these cars. Other parts similar.

I just would like to know if any one is using good grade B20.
I don't want to hear about expensive parts are or the folks who run home grown stuff and killed there engine.

I am looking for some real facts and/or experience using high grade B20.

And yes if I kill a part on my rig it is on my dime!

Any real data or experience out there is appriciated.

I have read about a few people running their e320 cdi's on b100 with no problems, except they recommended more frequent oil changes. I have also heard of one person running a 2tank SVO setup on a cdi with no issues once the system was perfected. I imagine the key to successfully running Bio in these vehicles would be high-quality fuel. These fuel systems can be much more finnicky than the older MB's if you come across some subpar fuel.

I cant recall where I found this info as I came across it a couple years ago when my daily driver was a 12-valve Dodge Cummins with Greasecar 2-tank SVO setup. Always got weird looks in the Smart & Final parking lot when I would pour multiple 4.5 gallon cubes of fresh VO into my auxiliary tank.

So, I don't have an answer for you, but I know there are such vehicles out there. I'm sure an hour of creative searching on google should net you the info you're looking for.

I stop occasionally at a station that sells a high grade of B20, actually their sign says "contains 5 to 20 % biodiesel". With the economics so upside down right now on biodiesel, it's most likely a 5% blend. My bluetec runs great on it. I have read that biodiesel increases the lubricity and may give a little less mileage but I don't notice it.
