Urgent question re diesel
Our 2015 Chevy Silverado says to use ultra low diesel, number 2, 15 parts per million. All we can find is biodiesel, even at Flying J. What happens if we use it? Thanks!

be very careful with any bio-diesel fuel (B10 or above). Been there and did the repairs and it's not cheap, even if you do it yourself like I did.
Anything above B10 will grow algae in your fuel tank if it sits for a prolonged time and the algae will compromise your fuel system, clog filters and wreak havoc on your wallet.
I've actually become paranoid because of my experience so I add a bio-cide now. I use Power Kleen (made by Powerservice) when I store my unit over the winter.
We put an additive in the tanks of our fleet of Petes and Freightliners. Algae is an issue. We add it once a week. The school district bus garage had an issue with it a few years ago.
