minnesota diesel with 2% bio

Minnesota has a law that says there has to be at least 2% biodiesel in all the diesel they sell can anyone tell me if that is enough bio to make up for the lubricity lost with ULSD

That should help lubrication of the injectors quite a bit.

Also a good way to lube them is to use 500 ppm (about 3-4 ounces) of new vegi oil in each tank. Thats what I have been doing. Virtually the same effect as using 2% bio-D.

The 2% mix of Bio-D is a richer mix than the 500 ppm of vegi. 2% would be almost 3 quarts of bio per tank of diesel.
