Yanmar 260, biodiesel safe?

[vjdup]

Biodiesel claims to have higher Cetane and lubrosity, not to mention the added benefit of exhaust smelling like a deep fryer.

Im interested in running biodiesel, anyone running it?
Will it pass the filters properly?

Check out this bulletin from 2008:

Make sure to read the precaution statement at the end of the bulletin. I'm not sure I'd take the chance.

Has anyone even seen B5 biodiesel for sale at a marina ?

B5 is only 5 percent biodiesel blend. Not sure it achieves the desired deep fryer odor.
