07' Dodge Ram manual says NO fuel over 5 percent Bio-Diesel. Favorite station in SoCal has now put an orange sticker on the pump notifying fuel contains up to 20 percent biodiesel, and have noticed the stickers on a few others recently.

The question is:
What are you other DODGE owners with non-fleet trucks from 2007.5 thru 2013 doing in regards to using this fuel?

What mods have you done to your truck to get by on BD20?
No mods and been using BD20 intermittently for years / or using it all the time? ...wanting to hear from you.
Thanks

The 2013 trucks have improved filtration to handle the B20

Just confirming, 2013 is the first year RAM had the dual filter setup, with the finer Cummins filter in the engine bay (3micron) and a nice parker racor designed filter setup in the rear. The same guys that make water separators and diesel filters for boats.

The biggest thing to look out for is making sure your fuel system doesn't have any natural rubber hose. Higher concentrations of Biodiesel will eat your rubber hoses and seals. Also, if you ever run B20 for the first time, it'll basically scrape your fuel system clean, and you'll go through fuel filters like crazy at first. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the 2012 and earlier trucks if they all universally had Biodiesel compatible seals and hoses for the fuel system.
