Willie Nelson runs his own brand of BioDiesel in his 05 CDI. It melted his fuel lines after a few weeks, but he could afford to replace them.

If he replaces all of his fuel lines with lines that don't melt, is that his only problem? Fuel lines aren't THAT expensive are they? That is a small price to pay for cleaner emissions isn't it?

And if one of your six $500 injectors goes bad or your $2000 high pressure pump goes bad?

Well, has anyone had those problems by running B100 in a CDI/Bluetec?
