They have approved up to B20 for most of their entire line. I have a 15L ISX engine manufactured in '05 and they have approved B20 for it and virtually every engine design manufactured since 2002. I picked up a brochure on this issue the last time I was in at the Cummins shop getting some changes programmed into my ECM that I wanted. It's all a rather moot point anyway since B20 levels are not readily available for me, but I have been consistently using levels of B5-B11 for over two years now and really like it. I would like to see B20 levels available at the pump. I could spec that mixture and have my local Coop deliver it, but since I go thru about 25,000+ gallons of fuel a year and most of that is on the road, it is not practical to keep large amounts of fuel actually at home and they won't mix an deliver a load less than 500 gallons. New Holland has approved Bio levels clear up B100 in their line of engines. Seems like a start. Sure takes a long time for OEM's to come around to anything good. Heck, it took them a decade to start incorporating disc brakes on production vehicles after they were well proven. Go figure. |
