That is great you are running on B20, but I must correct you in that
running biodiesel is dirtier for your vehicle and will cause more
problems. That "dirt" is if you have ever run your engine on
dino-fuel and the bio-d actually forces these "dead dino parts" to
push through the system. Yes you will need to change fuel filters for
quite some time after starting the bio-d program, but in the end (or
is that out the end) choosing to run bio-d is a win-win for everyone.
I plan on making bio-d in the garage. If you have a diesel look into
1. converting or 2. or making your own. If your of that persuasion.

thanks for the answer to my starter q. Appreciated.

Now I need to figure out how to get the top screw off of the starter
so i can get it rebuilt. Screw is in a tight spot and I don’t have the
right tool-or even know the right tool
Any thoughts?
thanks again.
