A guy I work with makes it so I filled up my oil tank with it. Got it for 2 bucks a gallon VS the almost 3 bucks fuel oil is going for now. Has anyone burned this stuff or had any issues with it?
btuser said:Oh boy. Its going to depend on two things: The age of your system and the concentration of the biodiesel in the fuel. Biodiesel will scrub the sludge from your tank, so grab some filters.

also everyone I have spoke to about it says the same thing
they all went through lots of filters, not sure how it would work in a home system sludge, dirtwise
probably been around alot longer than most of the trucks and I think fuel oil is probably dirtier than diesel
when I was running it though I did get 2-3 miles more per gallon and smelled like fries

I did notice a sludge like substance at the bottom of the can and thought WTF is that and did I just screw up my furnace by using this stuff. Thanks, Steve
