    Starting a 2005 F-250 on Biodiesel

    Hello

    I have a 2005 F-250 4x4 with the 6.0 powerstroke.

    I'm tired of paying 4 dollars a gallon for diesel. I've been thinking aobut switching over to Biodiesel for awhile but I'm still worried it will mess up my truck.

    I live in Florida near Tampa is the cold here going to be a problem?

    Does anything have to be done to the truck to run bio?

    I've heard there are are several type of Biodiesel. which one is the best?

    I work out of my truck and can't afford to have it breaking down all the time. Am I going to have problems?

    I guess basically I just need someone to give me a briefing on Bio diesel.

    Thanks Kevin

    HI KEVIN

      I HAVE AN 06 F-250 6.0L  I HAVE BEEN RUNNING B-100 FOR ABOUT 2 MOUNTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE . THERE IS NO CONVERSION FOR THE TRUCK TO RUN ON BIODIESEL. I HAVE HAD TWO MOURNINGS WERE THE TEMP HAD DROPED BELOW 25 o F AND I HAD COLD FLOW PROBLEMS . SO I GUESS  ANYWHERE IN FLA.YOU SHOULD NEVER GET BELOW 30 SO I CAN'T IMAGINE THERE WOULD BE ANY COLD ISSUES . AFTER ABOUT 8 TANKS I CHANGED THE FUEL FILTERS AS THE BIO CLEANS ALL OF THE DIESEL SLUDGE FROM THE TANK.. THERE IS HOWEVER A SMALL REDUCTION IN POWER AND A LITTLE REDUCTION IN THE FUEL MILEAGE. AS FAR AS THE DIFFERENT BIO IS CONCERNED I USE WVO. AND IT WORKS GREAT

     HOPE THIS HELPS JOHN

    There is already a thread on this site concerning bd and the F-250. You should find answers to your questions there. I have a 2006 F-250 and have run bd with no problems.

     Good luck.
