They put a B20 pump on I-35 in Denton, TX. The city collects oil from
restaurants in town and processes it at their landfill using gas
recovered from said landfill. Pretty all-around neat-o. I haven't got
up there to see it yet, but someday.... My boss has a '98 TDI and is
very interested in running it in his car, but isn't sure about the
filter effect. The disclaimer we've both heard is that if you already
have high milage on your Diesel, the bioDiesel's detergent properties
will trash a filter or two while it cleans out the system. Is that an
observable phenomenon? My plan would be to stick a cheap in-line filter
in before the stock filter and have several spares.
What's the experience of the more experienced?
