I've been running about two months on my B100 home made stuff and everything seems to be working. I read here somewhere the optical sensor needs to be modded or bypassed because timing is dependent on the fuel clarity. My finished product now is a light amber color that you can read newsprint thru a mason jar with. My first tank was candy apple colored but clear and I had no probs with that tank expect a very dirty fuel filter which was to be expected.

Temps are good, mileage is the same, start is easy, would adjusting the timing get me a more significant improvement in mileage or power? PMD mod installed with #9 resistor.
 
I never had to do anything with mine running B99 and bug sludge. Biocide that dissolves in fuel is a good idea to run. Power Service or Lucas Oil both make a good product for this.
 
I'm running it in my 3500, do I need biocide if I'm using "fresh" BioD? I haven't been able to keep any in storage, it's in the fuel tank as soon as it's demethed and settled for a day or three
 
There isn't a time limit for bugs to grow. A week and a brand new fuel tank is plugging filters. They grow easier in bio than regular diesel. Best to keep the bugs dead if they are there or not. Dosages are so low it is almost free to run the biocide.

Regardless with black B99 fuel you couldn't see through I didn't have to do anything with the sensor. Straight veggie oil is where people appear to have issues.
 
well I got mine the color of Corona beer, I'll head over to NAPA for some biocide just to be safe.
