Like you've already stated the common rail diesels won't run much more than B5 due to the MUCH higher pressure in the system and the higher viscosity of biodiesel. I am good friends with the owner of Grease Works, about a year ago he has a Jeep Liberty CRD, which has a MB engine. The owner had run B100 in it and it destroyed the injectors and they had to be replaced. I wouldn't attempt anything higher than B5.

We run B100 in a 2005 CRD Jeep Liberty since it was new. Now at over 48,000 miles and the only fuel related issue we've had is that we need to replace the fuel filter at 5k-10k miles.

There are thousands of people all over the country running B100, including a lot on this board alone, we run B100 in PSDs and Duramaxs and an 05 Mercedes all with around 50-60K on B100 so far.
