so far in TexUS, it's not up to 20% IIRC, most I've seen is 10% (but I don't look anymore  )
but the gooberment has to justify their mandates and payouts....

It's not the Bio you see on You Tube of the Guy making Fuel for his VW Rabbit from Wendy's or Mc Donald's grease traps but rather- Bi products from the Diesel Fuel processes from what I understand , I've had no Filter issues nor performance issues at all.

No kidding.....I didn't know that. Ultra low sulfur and now mixed with that...But I would think 20% wouldn't affect fuel system.....but it is just another way for big brother to be involved.

I have no idea of cost, but you may have that fuel "polished" to remove the crud, water, etc. Most major boat yards have such a machine.
Re-torque the injector pump mounting bolts before replacing the pump. They are known to work loose and cause problems.

Conversion to biodiesel has going on for a few years in Texas. I don't remember the last time I saw a pump that didn't have the sticker on it. Some say up to 10% and some say 20%.

UPDATE: My comment about the injector mounting bolts is for an oil leak, not anything to do with fuel delivery, sorry for the mistake.
re: biodiesel in fuel. Straight dino-diesel is still available in some places, but biodiesel is the cheapest and most effective additive to replace lost lubricity in the refining process that removes sulfur from diesel fuel.
The old wives tale about biodiesel causing problems is akin to the old wives tale about unleaded gas causing problems in older cars. Odd that my 1932 Chevrolet runs fine on unleaded gas, with never a problem; same for the 1999 Cummins in our MH, never a problem burning biodiesel.
I did have a problem with the flexible fuel lines on my 1996 Dodge CTD collapsing inside and shutting off fuel flow, but that was an inherent problem with the type fuel line material chosen by Dodge.
