Nothing in that blurb imdicates that HPR contains biodiesel. If you read all the product info you will discover the part that says it contains no biodiesel. Call it what you like.

I was referring to the the line where it says recycle fats because that's exactly what biodiesel is made out of among other components

In Oregon Bio-diesel is mostly west of the Cascades.

This is getting old.

I'm referring to the company's literature. Perhaps it's a cleverly worded marketing tactic to encourage those who dislike biodiesel to give their product a try. There are rules and regulations that prohibit making false claims in advertising and I would imagine that their legal department would discourage such activity. By some definition Propel Fuels claims that their HPR does not contain biodiesel. I didn't make it up and I don't really care what it contains.

Cummins says don't use it.

Well, I guess you geniuses know more than the manufacturer. You certainly have demonstrated an amazing ability into find the definition of biodiesel on the internet.

Have you visited their website?
Dieselhpr.com

It states repeatedly that it does not contain biodiesel.

Since you believe it does and Cummins approves the use of biodiesel up to B20 maybe you should use it.

You'll have to call the company if you want an answer. Im not going to waste any more of my time than it takes to write these words to try to convince you.

Some Costco fuel islands are offering diesel. I noticed the conspicuous absence of biodiesel stickers and asked the attendant why. He said it was because they don't sell biodiesel, just straight #2 diesel.

Another member discovered that Cummins allows the use of biodiesel however the genset engine is not a Cummins and the two genset engine mfg.'s discourage the use of biodiesel. It seems like the Aquahot enjoys using #2 diesel more than B5.

Return to Cosco and ask that attendant what additive Cosco uses to replace the lost lubricity during the refining process to remove sulfur. B2 biodiesel is the lubricity additive of choice because it it the best lubricant and lowest cost of all other lubricity additives. Diesel fuel below B5 does not have to be labeled on the pump. This study is proof: Lubricity Additive Study Results - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

Now, that IS funny.

Doubt a single employee in the store will even know for a fact (doesn't mean they won't give you an answer) what percent Biodiesel was in the last tanker-load they received.

Onan generators are a Cummins product. When I spoke with them they approved the use of biodiesel up to B20 for their engines. I did not ask specifically about the generator. I don't have HH but would suggest a call to the company to clarify their recommendation of acceptable fuels for their system.

Onan gensets are indeed a Cummins product but the ENGINE inside could either be a Kubota or some other brand, not Cummins.
