Hi, folks! Wife and I are on the verge of buying an
'00 Dodge 2500 diesel to run on biodiesel. My main
concern, given my history, is with fuel injector

the injectors appear to be inside the engine block, or
at least not have return lines. Whic

Exactly, it's absolutely insane: University VW (in

wagons West of the Rockies, and only "a few" left East
of 'em; this is in the US, however - North of the

We run B100 in our '03 TDI and B50 in our '82 240D.
Our results are basically the same as yours, but I
think we've had low to no drop (0 to 10%) in mileage
on B100 in the late model TDI; anecdotally, the older
the engine (or design thereof), the bigger the drop in

Actually, according to Web-listed dealer inventory
there are no new '05 TDI Passat Wagons within 400 km
of Seattle on the US side of the border. However, w/
very little effort, I found three Vancouver, BC area
VW dealers each w/ multiple '05 TDI Passat Wagons.
