R99, B20 fuel. Am I understanding this correctly.

I have a Shell station near me now that has "renewable diesel" stickers on the pump and a "80% biomass based diesel" sticker. My question here is: what is the other 20%? Is it bio-diesel, or good old dino-diesel? Of course the people in the store never have any idea...

Yeah, it might be...my DPF gauge is actually now starting to show some indications now. It hasn't really shown **** when I select it for the first 16.5k miles, but yesterday it actually went to almost 45% and then back down to 30%.

It would be 80% renewable diesel and 20% BioDiesel

I stand corrected, my apologies. I thought it was diesel, blends in my part of the country are bio-in-diesel when they list percentages.

Yeah, that's what I am afraid of...I don't want that. Maybe I'll need to give the 76 station a try since they are supposed to have R95 or R99.

I’ve been using the 76 station R99 since my truck was new with exception of a handfull that was not available where I was located. After reading about it with anywhere around 75 cetene, suppose to burn cleaner, and my truck regens around that 24 hr running time mark. I have no isssues with it.

Truck runs great and totally different than biodiesel that people think it is. Not the same. Same price -/+ as regular #2 diesel. You will also notice the smell is similar as diesel, but not as strong odor as regular diesel.

I notice now Cheveron has 80% renewable and 20% other (regualr or biodiesel). I believe you’ll see here in California atleast more and more availability of renewable diesel.
