Anyone using this it on a regular basis? (not the homemade stuff) Any comments on performance or other issues such as clogging filters would be appreciated.

We have used B20 (20% Bio-Diesel, 80% petroleum diesel) quite regularly fro SAFF (South Australian Farmers Fuel). Several outlets in Adelaide and surrounds as well as at least one in the Riverland and two across the Eyre Highway! NO ill effects at all. At one stage we got a dose of B100! It cleaned out some dregs of manufacture swarf from the fuel tank too - showed up in the filter bowl!
We have a 1HZ motor (now turbo'd) and there was no notice-able difference in performance etc. Not too sure how more modern motors will fare though!

Thanks Guys,
I will run some - when I find some.... I think the only issue may be lubricicity (s?) and an upper cyclinder lubricant should fix that.
We are running the same rig recently purchased from Clive Harrison - it's realy well tricked up and even has tyre pressure monitors - very happy with it.
Regards John and Jean
