Warfighters, have you wondered if you can use biodiesel blends in your tactical vehicles? Well, wonder no more because the answer is no.

AR 70-12, Fuels and Lubricants Standardization Policy for Equipment Design, Operation, and Logistics Support (Nov 15), states that biodiesel blends are not authorized for use in combat/tactical systems.
