Thanks for the mechanic recommendation, Rob. As for biodiesel availability, I've just about given up. Guess it's time to go the WVO route, which might be a blessing in disguise, given the price of diesel at the pump.

The only retail biodiesel station I can find is the Pearson Fuels station on El Cajon Blvd in East San Diego County, about 40 miles to the south of my location. And they only sell B20. I want my B100! Or at least B99. It's ironic that in a place where the U.S. military uses lots of biodiesel, the consumer can hardly find a place to buy it.
