I think its a great idea to run B20. I've got it in my tank right now.

Not sure of the temps you're seeing now, but B20 should be good to go down to around 2F before it gels.

I know the place your talking about. I was advised to run B5 first then B10 next tank and finally B20 by a keen biodiesel guy. He said Bio is a excellent cleaner/solvent and on your 98 12v be ready for filter changes. Since I can get diesel cheaper than the Bioblend I won't be running it till they drop the price.

It's not much cheaper right now maybe 3C a litre now Point Roberts in the good old USA is 10-12C cheaper for Dino

It's way above freezing here so no worries that way

Go for it, I've been running B20 for several years with no problem.
I do switch to straight diesel for the three real cold months to avoid gelling.
