I ran B20 in my Landcruiser for 3 years or so until I had a very infuriating time diagnosing a fuel starvation/ air leak problem. After much time, effort and some expense I pulled the pickup tube from the tank and the screen was plugged with a film of unknown origin. Two fuel filters, fuel lines, fuel filter body, and the impending threat of rebuilding the injection pump.....and all it was was a plugged screen. I think that I must've picked up some bad fuel heading into the winter (bio is a little less user friendly in colder weather) and the fats contained in the bio somehow came out of suspension and clogged the pick up screen...... I stopped using it. Even running clean dino for months didn't break down that film. The plus side was that my fuel tank was beautiful inside, for a 20 year old vehicle. Bio has a scouring effect and will enhance the lubricating qualities needed for the fuel system. The dino diesel today has changed into a "watery" liquid that is much less "slippery". Cheers
