Biodiesel Bad To Mix With ULSD?

[frenchfryburner]

I think mine probly dropped 3 mpg but free fuel is still better to me.I work on ships and we have a book that shows all the combustion temps pretty much any oil will fire in a diesel the only worry is lubrication qualities of the different oils Thats why it would eventually be catistophic if you were to use somthing to thin.the injectors would sieze.the fuel oils on a ship range from regular diesel to somthing that would take 15 minutes at room temp to dump out of a cup.so far no problems for me but the annoyance of changing filters all the time. I wouldn't use it on a cold day though. for start up I use diesel then switch tanks when it warms.i'm sure someone will tell me I'm crazy though. Someone said deisel is like religion there are so many different views. Ichoose to take my chances so far its saved me hundreds just this week.

Ask yourself, what do you think they mix B20 with?

Answer, 4 parts ULSD, 1 part B100 = B20. You can mix it all you want to, it wont hurt a thing.

the reason behind the lost in mpg's while running Bio-d has to do with the fact that Bid-d has less BTU's per gallon than Petro Diesel.

This is interesting. I have a 05 6.0L and I would like to run Bio but I dont want to mess my engine/fuel system up. The BP station right around the corner from my house has B20 can I run that?

chances are you'll be fine. just keep an eye on your fuel filter. Biodiesel does a better job of cleaning up your fuel system than regular Petrol. with that low of a % of Bio, you'll probably have a slight drop in MPG's for a few tanks while your computer adjusts to a slightly different fuel.
