Biodiesel?

Biodiesel?
I have a 1994 Ford F250 7.3L Turbo IDI, and I was wondering if anyone else had any experiences with different mixtures of biodiesel(B20, B50 etc... We have a supplier here in town and i think its much cheaper than standard diesel so just looking for an alternative.
Also was wondering if anyone has tried WVO, WMO or any other types of fuel with problems.
Lowest here in my area of Indiana is 3.69/gal

Especially a relatively old idi diesel should be able to run commercially available biodiesel without any issues. As for WVO and WMO, check the other threads in this subforum, there'll be posts claiming terrible things will happen to your motor and posts claiming wonderful things. Personally, I'm too lazy to run wvo, and the shop I work at uses wmo for heat, so I'm no expert on either

The only thing I'd be concerned about is fuel lines in an old motor being able to stand up to bio.
There are cases of people running WVO, bio, and WMO quite successfully. There are also a lot of cases where they've done it unsuccessfully. My suggestion is do a LOT of reading/research. There is a lot of wrong info out there so you're going to have to sift through it all and figure out what works and what doesn't.
I run WVO through my vegistroke equipped 6.0, and love it. No issues from the system or WVO use to date.

You may experience some deterioration in the fuel lines, It's a crap shoot really. Some trucks will develop issues from the bio and other will not. You're good to go to run WVO in the idi, It actually likes it. As long as you have the proper elements in place you should have well over 100,000+ of use.
