So i filled the 93 up with a tankfull of biodiesel ($2.99/gal) and as i was i got some on my hand, less smell, kinda nice. I go inside to pay and wash my hands. After washing TWICE with soap my hand was still slippery! So i'm thinkg that this stuff has got to be a blessing for the IP, anyone want to chime in on this.

 

I have heard that it has better lubricating properties that straight #2. I do know that it will clean the gunk out of the fuel system and plug filters up till works it way clean.

 

That sounds about normal.
The Fuel pressure gauge drops about 1-2 PSI when I run more than B20.
I'd still rather have BioDiesel on my fingers than Dino D.
I watch the FP real close as the filters can plug fast as noted above

 

Would it be alright if I decided to go ahead and run 100% biodiesel? I make it here at home and we run it in my Dads 1998 6.5 Chevy diesel. I have heard that the stuff eats the rubber seals in things and you may have to replace fuel lines. Is any of this true?
Thanks,
Wheelo

 

Anything made after '92 should be bio-diesel resistant. Aparently the AFC diaphragm got damaged on some university test trucks -- There is a link to their report somewhere in the general siesel discussion, some university ran a 91 and a 93 on stright bio for a few thousand miles. New seals, etc., are bio-d proof.
