6th and Wyandotte, right off 1-70...stone's throw from I-70. stocked up on three rpe-filters and a main filter and fill up the SD (only half a tank), so I'm running B10 righ now...will keep filling up there. Have to say that I have not noticed a quieting effect, but I do notice the difference in smell. My 300Dt friend filled up (nearly full tank) and said he noticed the noise reduction the next morning. It seems that IP fuel delivery valve rubber (0-rings) are not terrribly difficult to replace, they come out from the top, with a special tool, of course. We are looking into replacing all of ours wtih viton/synthetic rings BEFORE any problems occur. Chris

The quieting will be more noticeable in an engine that's not running well and much less detectable in a REALLY smooth, well running engine. With B-20 the lower energy content usually only results in a drop of a few percent in fuel economy. B-100 should result in a 10-15% drop in economy.
