Just thinking out loud here,any inherent design reasons we couldnt run homebrew? i.e. injectors,lift pump,etc? Seems like this should be a popular topic with the current fuel prices.Lets hear your comments

 

Fencebuilder,
I hope a tech comes on line because North Dakota is building a Bio Diesel plant in the near future. They say they can produce more Bio Diesel then North Dakota could use. I am also concerned about injectors. lift pump and other components. It would be alot cheaper to run. We need to hear from Cummins what they come up with.

 

Here is a link to a .pdf with Cummins stand on Biodiesel. I emailed them and received pretty much the same answer. To that end, I am on my second tank of B20 and haven't noticed any ill effects.

 

Its all about the lubricity.

Of the fuel that is.

 

The only inherent design problem I could foresee is the Warranty - DC has it precisely worded (by design).

Bio is mentioned in the OM, but I didn't see anything about homebrew.

 

Not a problem,since "I am my own warranty station"
