Can you use Biodiesel in the 6.4?

Just a thought...

Can't really find it in the manual..

It does say to run B5 when it is cold..

I live in Florida and can get it.... Is it a good idea??

Can I run B5, B20, or B100?

Thanks,

Joe

I think running up to B20 would be safe...

The only problem is I can't get it by me...

I did call up a place the other day and they wanted $255 for a 55 gallon barrel of B100...

What is the real benefit of running B10 r B20?? If the Bio is so much more expensive???

SHould I mix my own?????

Do not use biodiesel in your 6.4L! This fuel does not have enough lubricity. I have seen it tear an engine apart.

where have you have seen that Biodiesel is a bad lubricant? Biodiesel is a better lubricant then ULSD.

Sorry about the mix up. What happens is the biodisel fuel does not burn at lower combustion temperatures, causing the leftover fuel that does not burn to travel down the cylinder walls and into the crankcase, which then mixes with the oil.
