Any Of Ya'll Tried Biodiesel?
My truck Hated it. I filled up at the Spinx with it last month. After 2 1/2 tanks of regular diesel the truck is runnin like normal. Dont know if it was an issue with the Edge Juice or what.
My mpg dropped significantly and the truck almost felt like it was skipping during boost.

What grade of bio diesel did you use? I've experimented with it myself and didnt like the results. Lose of power and fuel mileage not to mention the poor idling. Then again I've riding in trucks that were tuned to run on bio diesel and they seemed to run ok. The big problem with running bio diesel is that it will leave a film on the inside of your tank. When you run straight diesel again it strips this film off in large particles and sends it through the fuel system.

I ran all sumer of 2005 on B100. there was about a 3mpg loss and noticeable power loss.
Piggybacking on what DMax said above. But, the opposite. Bio has a cleaning nature to it. If you run it after a few years of dino diesel it'll clean out your fuel system and plug filters.
I'm not familiar with it leaving a residue in the tanks. There is a ton of info available at biodiesel.org

I think he's pulling your chain. Bio diesel has far less energy than #2 diesel thats why you will see a decrease in power and mileage. It creates about 35% less BTU's per given volume so its far less efficient.

It will be quieter there are less BTU's per gallon of Bio than Dino = less power.
No clue why a chipped truck would feel like it has more power other than changing timing.

Its getting to the point that the diesel sites are the best place for disinformation .
There is no film or what ever left by bio diesel .
There is only on grade of bio diesel , but there are different blends , percentages of bio .
The BTU loss is in the single digits , part of what makes bio diesel certifiable as diesel .
Different trucks / fuel system are or are not suggestible for bio , the suggestible the high the % allowed .
At b20 you need lab condition to measure any difference , but in common rail engs you may have quickest bad reactions to running because of the high pressures causing the bio diesel to polymerize .
