Smooooth is how my engine runs on B20, I can hardly hear the engine. Engine noises are minimized and power is phenomenal, I am amazed.

Anyone else experience these benefits while running on Biodiesel?

I'm running B75 right now and it is smooth and quiet. Once I go above B25 though there is a very slight loss in power, but since I can still smoke the tires on dry pavement I don't really care :twisted:

People talk about smoking their tires, my liberty doesn`t smoke them so easy.... do u have to get on your brake and accelerator at the same time to get it to do it or just stump on the accelerator ?

Depends on the surface. On concrete; it'll break loose as soon as the turbo spools up, on asphalt I have to do the brake/go pedal trick. Mind you I am not claiming a funny car type burnout. But it does lay a patch of rubber a couple feet long on concrete before it grabs and goes. I am always worried in high torque situations like that though, because I am still running a stock TC.
