How Well Does The ISL9 450's Run on B20 BioDiesel

Anyone had any experience with B20 biodiesel in the 2013 ISL9 Cummins 450s that they put in the 2015 Allegro Bus?

Cummins says it can take B20, but was wondering how it performed and whether it affected the AquaHot system if you ran it on B20...

Thoughts??

The energy content of #2 diesel is 129,500 BTU/hr B100 biodiesel contains 118,296 BTU/hr or 8.65 % less than #2. B20 biodiesel blend is 127,260 BTU/hr only 1.73 % less than #2 diesel. I doubt if you'd notice a 1.73% drop in power. All other things being equal (water content, dirt and other contaminants, etc) biodiesel is fine for your engine and won't burn any differently in your oil furnace.
