Biodiesel Day 9

I have now run B30 for about 500 miles in a mix of city and highway conditions including a trip to the mountains. No signs of fuel filter restriction have presented. The tank is currently at 1/4 full of B30. My next move will be to fill up with B99 to bring the mix in my tank up to about B85.

Biodiesel Day 2

I've been running 8 percent bio for over 100 miles now and no sign of a fuel filter clog has developed. I'm sort of dissapointed since I have read that people have typically seen the first clog in 20 miles or so. Perhaps I need to get a bit more aggressive.
Tomorrow I will up the bio... stay tuned.

Biodiesel Day

Converting to biodiesel today!

Notice the dirt on my shirt? That is from crawling under the truck to practice changing the fuel filter.

Interleague Play

Outman on the mound for me and the As wearing stirrup socks. Go Padres, but dont score too many runs!

As it turned out, Outman was pulled after an inning and a half and is now missing a start for elbow problems (24-Jun). Let's hope the DL is not the next piece of news.
