Default 6.0 Satisfaction

Clay, You are the first person I have run across that has gone whole hog with a 6.0PSD. I have the same truck and engine. I have considered blending but I am second guessing that. I really like the 2 tank system and 'Damn the Bio'ers'. Did you have any bugs in your system after install?

Kevin

Kevin,
DO NOT BLEND! unless it is in small ratios to lubricate injectors (like 500 PPM ). Blending will cause issues with your fuel filters (cold vegi wont flow) and your pump (again, cold vegi wont flow).
I have had great success with the 2 tank set up from Vegistroke. I have run hundreds of gallons of vegi in the last 16 months of doing it....25,000 miles to date.
Any specific questions you may have i will do my best to answer, and if i can't answer them we'll get Jason Crawford himself to answer them.

Florida sumers can melt rocks. Got a cousin who blends in his suburban with good results. Maybe cuz of different motor,I don't know. He says the VO breaks down the parafin wax buildup from the diesel and sends it downstream resulting in 2-3 filter changes in short time. Shouldn't the wax be mostly gone after a time? I'm just lookin' to cut the fuel bill 'til I drop some coin on a 2 tank system.

Please explain how my statement was false.

I'll say it again,

Biodiesel will work in any diesel engine without modifications.

That is false because some older diesels have fuel systems made with rubber seals that will NOT withstand the corosive nature of biodiesel Murph. :pc:

But that doesnt mean the biodiesel wont run just fine in the engine.

1st. The material breakdown process you speak of takes months to happen and is so minor its a joke. (and you know it)

2nd. any engine made after 1995 or so is compatible and there are very few older engines running today. Or, perhaps I should say, the ratio is very high.

I read tens of thousands of postings about biodiesel every month. I am a member of more forums than I have time to count.

If there was seal issues, they'd be popping up.. I've heard of just 1 and it wasnt an issue until they did something non-related to the engine. (And yes, it was a very old generator)

Want to know what else is a myth about biodiesel?
It doesnt smell like french fries.

And,

fuel filters don't really clog up when you start using it.

The fuel filter issue has about a 1 in 100 incident rate with new biodiesel users.

Those are the facts.

I do firmly believe you could design an engine to run on svo and even waste svo.. but you'll have to do much more than heat the oil up a little bit.

It would require a redesign of some of the major combustion chamber characteristics.

Since that's not going to happen, Biodiesel is a better solution.
