[QUOTE="buschpoweredstroker, post: 47588, member: 1426"] your fuel lines may also start to deteriorate after a while... most newer lines are more tolerable than the old ones. your injectors will appreciate the added lube too and your motor will be noticeably quieter. we make biodiesel and run 100% in an 01 excursion, 03 SD, 1 Fuso, and 3 VW TDIs as soon as it gets warm enough (mid may usually through Oct in upstate NY). the biggest issue as stated by others is the first few tanks and keeping your filter clean, but with a 6-20% blend it'll take a little longer to plug a filter... but also to clean your system out. Your fuel mileage shouldn't be affected with that blend either... or not enough that you couldn't blame it on a lead foot or driving like a girl(sorry ladies, and i know there are plenty out there that have a lead foot issue too). The hard start issue that JD3020 has IMHO is more likely related to an issue with the truck (injectors probly) and not the bio. The fuel additive isn't necessary until it gets colder(though it won't hurt either), and then you might need to add more than you used with straight diesel as the biodiesel raises the gel point. We also have grease kits in two fusos and one of the TDIs... that makes for a little less HP and fuel mileage, but it's a lot cheaper!!! :) [/QUOTE]
