Biodiesel is corrosive, just like ethanol. For the same reason E85 equipped vehicles must have corrosion resistant, more expensive engine components, so must higher mixed biodiesel vehicles.
Public school "the blob" curriculum is, by its very nature, behind the times. When my younger children were in elementary school, seemingly innocuous lessons on species numbers and risk status were years out of date - winged squirrels of Virginia and a middle eastern rodent come specifically to mind (it has been almost a decade, forgive my lack of specific recollection). I sent messages, complete with data from pro-conservation groups pointing out the errors to my childrens' teachers in an attempt to aid them in their chosen craft, to what ends I'll never know. To your point about computerized lessons, now that they're in high school, it falls to chance that their education won't mislead them. I wish I had the temperament to be an educator; I would homeschool haha.

Thanks for tossing in your two cents. Wasn't aware of the biodiesel being corrosive.
