I was wondering if anyone has tested B100 or B20 in a caterpillar marine engine and what results they have had. Thanks

I have about 1000 mi with B100 on a Cat 3126 in an RV now--

Seems to be fine but that is hardly a second in the life of a Cat

Shouldn't be a problem for any of these applications - as long as it's good clean settled, WASHED and dryed biodiesel.

Been running B100 in a 1963 Massey Ferguson 35 farm tractor. The fuel is mist washed 4 times. The fuel is force dried in a 55 gallon drum with hot water heater element screwed into bung in the bottom (and thermostat hung low on the side of the barrel).

The tractor has a 35 horse Perkins diesel - tough as nails. It quiets down maybe 25% of total noise output and I estimate that I've lost 5% of power. I compensate by kicking up the revs an extra 100 rpm (the Perkins 35 horse is a low rev motor 0 - 2400 RPM max).

Runs great!
