just a question does biodiesel give you a loss of power? my dodge doesnt like it much just wondering :humm:

they say it doesnt but i say it does.

I also notice a power loss when running anything more than 5% bio diesel. It does burn cleaner as the more bio you run. I have ran 20% bio and noticed less smoke. have tried to talk and find others that have successfully ran it at 100% but not too many people here in vegas do stuff like that to my knowledge so i didn't go any farther into the making home brew diesel.

I don't know about power, because I really have no way of measuring it other than seat of my pants ... but, I would have to say it may but not much.

I do know that my mpg's go down about 5-10%, but I buy it for about 10% less, so it evens out. I try to burn about B15 all the time. (About 5 gallons per tank.)

My main thinking about bio-diesel is that it is made locally and all money stays in the US. No money is transferred overseas to the terrorists as with petrol-diesel.

in the summer months I burn whatever I feel like in my cabover, I experimented with used trans fluid, used hydraulic oil, mineral oil, WVO, all filtered to 10 micron and dumped in the tank, I have processed my own bio-diesel when prices were higher and everyone that knew I was doing it wanted to buy it and honestly I did not see a difference in the smoke/mileage/pep, exc whether it was filtered WVO or proccessed and washed bio-diesel so I dont bother with making it anymore and nobody asks for fuel at a discount anymore either, atleast I have a steady supply of about 50 gallons a week year roundbut with diesel prices under $2 I doubt I will dump much WVO in my tank, I would rather save it for when we see $5 a gallon again

I make/run my own bio. I run B100 in both my '07 LBZ duramax and my '06 Jetta TDI. There is a power/mileage loss of about 7%, but the fuel is SOOOOO much cheaper (if you make your own) that it doesn't matter. You can tune the power loss out with EFILive anyway. :D

i make bio diesel and yes they are a little power loss and mpg loss. if made right and washed right it is very good fuel. i would say just guessing about 10 percent power and 2 mpgs. bad bio is bad though

DO any of yo have experience with the fuel mister or similr products?

negatory

Also if anyone has any more information about biofuel plaese shoot it my way.
