Why don't more people use biodiesel in their diesel trucks?
It would be great if more people used biodiesel in the diesel trucks!

There are a few negatives to using biodiesel in diesel trucks. First, there is limited availability of biodiesel fuel. Next, the cost is much higher for biodiesel. Also, fuel economy is off by at least 10%. Additionally, biodiesel may be a concern in cold weather and in older vehicles.
Can you use bio-diesel in diesel tractors?

Would it harm a diesel engine if you combined regular diesel with bio diesel?
Factory-made biodiesel is sold as "B-such-and-such." The most common is B20. The number is the percentage of biodiesel in the mix--the rest is petroleum diesel. Answer: it works fine, go for it. As long as the bio diesel is clean and doesn't have water in it. it should be fine. Use caution with the home brew, filter it good and don't run more than 20% bio diesel below freezing without tank heaters it gells way too easy. There are several different types of bio diesel, make sure the kind you are going to use will work in in a factory fuel system or if you will need a kit installed on your vehicle to properly burn the fuel. Also, adding on to his answer, the first time you use the biodiesel you might want to change your fuel filter. The biodiesel will clean out your gas tank and may clog up your filter.

No. That's why diesel fuel now costs more than gasoline. No, but in some areas (central Illinois for example) diesel contains a mixture of diesel and soybean based biodiesel there is no ethanol in diesel and that has nothing at all to do with the price of diesel the price of diesel is straight out supply and demand ,more diesel vehicles on the road so put the price up; the only bio diesel fuel is private enterprise. most biodiesel is made by private individuals and companies that use old cooking oils ,refine it and add it to the diesel it costs about 5000 thousand dollars to set this up and anyone can do it if they got access to old cooking oils
