Default bio diesel?

i hear it cleans out built up sludge and stuff. i was wondering if i could just get some and run it through to just clean it out then keep on with reg diesel? could i do it like 70 bio 30 reg diesel? or do you have to do some thing special to run it in your truck?

you can run mix thats fine note that when you run bio any rubber lines on the truck need to be changed to a hose to handle it also you will change fuel filters a couple of time real quick

B20 for 3 months will clean things out.B50 for 6 weeks should do it.However keep extra filters and tools at all times.Diesel slime is really bad on more than 5 year old engines.or use 1 gal. veggie oil to 10 gals diesel for 3 months.It cleans also.

Sure can,up to 25%.It to has the solvent action of bio,but does not eat your fuel lines,or lift pump.
