Dodge OKs running biodiesel in some 2007 diesel Rams
DaimlerChrysler will be allowing commercial, government,
and military users of diesel 2007 Dodge Rams to use up to 20% biodiesel (B20) in that vehicle's Cummins engine, if the
fuel meets applicable military specifications. If you're a private owner of a Cummins Ram and want to run biodiesel
without running into warranty problems, you're still out of luck for the time being - the company is still working on a
national spec for B20 that would allow it to be run in all diesel Rams. This is said to tie into DaimlerChrysler's new "green" marketing approach to diesels, which includes the BlueTec package of emission-reduction technologies.

This is a good baby step but what about the typical Joe with a diesel Ram pickup or Liberty CDI? Here in Seattle WA we have at least two public B20 pumps that are ASTM certified [and lots of B99 pumps]. I hope DCX will announce some better news soon!
