1st gen Hobie

Just talked to one of the owners where I work. Asked about bio. He said they sell it to farmers for about 10 cents more than reg. Said something about a tax incentive or something like that, that he is waiting to go in effect. Anyone know about this? He had to go before I could ask how much it would cost me a gallon.

Check that out Kyle, I think that is the price for 100% biodiesel. The B20 should be about the same cost per gallon as regular dino diesel.

What are the pro's and con's of BD?

The biggest pro is that you are supporting the American farmer and not giving your money to the Arabs. I personally think that's more than enough reason to use it even if it costs more right now. BD also provides additional lubricity and reduces emissions.
Cons are that higher than B20 concentrations may reduce power, mpgs and gells at higher temps than straight #2. BD also has a solvent effect that can break up deposits in your tank that will clog the filters. This will only occur the first couple of tanks, carry a spare filter.
