B10 Bio fuel in oil burner

[Gun Dog]

At the beginning of the year I researched using low sulfur B10 in my oil burner. In my area I can only get B10 at the local gas station for about 20 cents more per gallon than #2 fuel oil. After contacting Beckett I found I could run this safely in my burner. I did a test run and I couldn't believe the difference. WOW! I burned about two thirds less fuel oil per hour than #2. The burn is as clean as I ever seen. The motor runs quiet. And the burn is even quieter. I love this B10 stuff but cant buy it in less than a tank truck. Where can I get less than a tanker in Southeast PA? Is anyone running B10 in their burner?

Amerigreen is the only one around me and they don't retail. They will only refer me to distributors around my area. Those distributors only sell min quantities. 5000 gallons.

Ayuh,... I can't find it at All 'round here...

My fuel supplier says it's in the works, but not yet available...

About a year ago, I fired up my homemade outdoor wood boiler, 'n haven't burnt a drop of oil since, so it's now a moot point...

I made the mistake by not going with an outdoor multifuel boiler when I replaced mine two years ago. They are the way to go. You can get whatever fuel is the cheapest to burn at the time. Wood, pellets, corn cobs, sawdust. I dump twenty contractors bags full of sawdust, from my shop, over the side of the hill a month. What a waste.
