Sorry if I indicated bioD was the problem. The issue is crappy fuel standards the government implemented. ULSD isn't by itself the problem, Europe has it too they just compensate with better additives directly in the fuel. Here the government took the side of the oil companies instead of the engine makers so we have fuel that barely lubricates well enough and with any contamination at all doesn't meet spec. This is why VW won't warranty a diesel engine that's had any gasoline at all in the tank...

B5 INCREASES the lubricity to near that of older (Pre U-LSD) fuel. We get a pretty steady diet of B5. If your U-LSD is not a B5, then the Iron head and OM601-2-3 engines need lubricity added to the fuel for optimum engine life. U-LSD is what happens when the EPA goobers are on LSD. (All the time!)
