Diesel fuel - biodiesel percentage New England / NY / PA areas
Planning a trip to New England and will be passing through nearby states including Pennsylvania & New York.
Our ERA has a MB diesel engine. MB specifies diesel with no more than 5% biodiesel, with up to 20% usable for short-term ('emergency') use.
Most of the travel we have done has been in the SE US and the Midwest. Most of the diesel we have seen in our travels has contained 5% biodiesel. On one trip in particular, in TX up through parts of the Midwest, we did encounter some fuel stations selling diesel with 20% biodiesel (that was all they had, no 5%).
I did read some prior threads regarding MB diesel engines and biodiesel, and I downloaded and read the MB brochure outlining their diesel requirements and why the recommend against using any diesel with more than 5% biodiesel.
For those of you that live and/or travel in New England / PA / NY or thereabouts, is most diesel fuel sold there 5% biodiesel or is it common to run into diesel with higher percentages of biodiesel?
