Only in limited places by the end distributors. Very rare to find bio-d at the pump in concentrations above B20. even B20 I've seen like maybe 3 times.

Our gasoline (petrol) is 10% ethanol as mandated by the government, no such mandate for diesel fuel.

bad skunky diesel you can smell right away at the pump by wafting / sniffing the nozzle. but this new breed whunter is talking abut that seems to just have low cetane i haven't heard of. but then again i don't buy much petro-diesel.

i have never had a problem with petro diesel - i always buy name brand and will pay a higher price from a high volume station since my petro diesel sits in my tank for approx. six weeks since most of the time I'm running on WVO.
