Biodiesel being used
I noticed that the Flying J I visited last week had posted on the pump that it contains 20% biodiesel. I don't think its a problem but has anyone experienced problems such as hard starting or other?

in Feb of 2013 we stopped at the Flying J on the north side of Houston, TX ....I'd already filled on of the tanks on our '07 Freightliner Sportchassis before I noticed the 20% bio diesel warning label .... I ended up filling both tanks and then took off west toward San Antonio .... I couldn't tell any difference in the sound or performance of truck but it didn't take long to notice the fuel gauge dropping at an unusually fast rate .... bottom line, the truck's mileage dropped 2 mpg and when you aren't getting but 10 mpg to start with, that is a significant difference .... every since then, I don't burn 20% unless I just have to

I had the same thing happen with my 08 Dodge in early March this year. Mileage improved as it was diluted out of the system.:(
