When filling up my fuel tank at the pilot truck stop yesterday I used a pump that was marked "b15" biodiesel blend. This is my first fill up of the tank and I have previously filled my truck and extra diesel cans here before I bought the large tank. I had no idea the station was selling b15, though, and I would have moved on in ignorance had I not used the one pump they had marked with the b15 sticker yesterday.
So basically I've been running this biodiesel blend for as long as pilot has been selling it through my tractor and truck for the past three years without issue. would y'all have reservations using the same fuel in the rtv? I've closely read over the biodiesel insert that Kubota put in with the manual, I am familiar with the extra maintenance steps, and my rtv only has 3.5 hours on it, so I am not going to change the oil and filters like the guide calls for when running biodiesel as it seems like a waste on a machine with practically no hours.
I know Ford recommends using 5w40 full syn in their diesels when running bio blends to prevent oil dilution. The Kubota biodiesel insert doesn't mention this, but I am leaning to the side of using rotella t6 5w40 in the new rtv after 50 hours for the same reason. but the manual only recommends saw 30, 10w30, or 15w40 oils.
Thoughts? I wish I could talk directly to a Kubota engineer, but y'all are the closest thing I got!
