February 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

General Motors and Ford both recently announced support for use of B20 biodiesel in their 2011 diesel models. The 2011 GM line-up of heavy duty diesel pickups equipped with the Duramax 6.6L engine and Ford’s 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine will both be B20 biodiesel compatible.

The new Duramax 6.6L turbo diesel engine will power the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, as well as the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans. Chevrolet will display the 2011 Silverado heavy-duty trucks at the Chicago Auto Show onĀ Feb. 10.

Ford plans to identify B20 compatible vehicles with a badge B20 road & leaf badge–similar to the badge used to identify Ford E85 Flex Fuel compatible vehicles.
