Yet, we were recently in the great state of Kalifornicate and the only available diesel fuel was B15. So what are we suppose to do?

[ynots57]

the recommended bio percentage is related with the water separation abilities of your fuel system. improve it!!!

What they wrote you back is straight from the manual. IF you run no DPF if you won't have a issue with any of the fuel. Maybe Ultra High Sulfer as it is a drier lube diesel, that could pose a issue on the fuel system. But that stuff is hard to find plus the big ole fine you will get if caught

Be VERY skeptical of information you read on the internet.

No #1 fuel? What about those of us who live up north and deal with extreme cold temps? Last winter in -20F temps I was running straight #1 without any problems. Did I get just get lucky?
