Finding non-bioDiesel

Our Revolution has an 05 Cat. it doesn't like biodiesel. It damages o rings seals and hoses.
We've looked on the Internet and ourselves have not found a listing or any current information on stations that sell non-biodiesel in Az,New Mexico or anywhere for that matter.
Not looking for a 6,000.00 repair or more, does anyone have a source a listing of fuel stops that sell non-biodisel? Just plain ulsd?
  • Wasn’t bio added to ULSD to make up for the loss of lubricosity??? I’m not aware of any place you can buy ulsd without bio in it.
  • My '95 3406 drank lots of 10% bio. The only issue was it drank lots fuel. The temp of fuel going in the tank had much more effect on MPG than % of bio. When I sold the truck 7 years ago it was well past the 2 million mile mark, and the guy that bought it put the engine in a new Western Star kit.
  • Actually an 05 cat was ok to run bio up to 20% with no problem. Check the CAT specs for that year I think you’ll confirm that. The hoses seals etc were changed before then. My 03 ( actually 02 c12) drinks it with no issues 152000 miles so far.
    In The west you have to search some to not get at least some bio.
