The current breed of DPFs is actually blocking the renewable fuels option on diesels.

It's a point of discussion on biodiesel boards, the different consistency of the biodiesel causing the extra squirt to stick to the cylinders and wash into the oil instead of going into the DPF as regular diesel do. And there's no quick fix to this.

Hopefully they all follow suit.
