I have been running it for a couple of weeks now. It seems like I am getting worse gas mileage... :idea: Anyone else have any experience?
I have an 03" Powerstroke Ford F-350 :hammer2:

I did once and had no problems. Just can't find it here in So Ca. Found fuel for $2.89 last night as it looks like it's going down.

some good info on biodiesel over on the diesel forums like tdr , tds . What percent you running? Did you make it yourself or buy it somewhere? I think dodge recommends no more 5-10 percent ( i dont know about ford) alot of guys have had good luck with b-20

I believe the fuel is 80% Bio. I was buying it at a local gas Station. Diesel was $3.40 last time I bought it a couple days ago.

I would look into what ford recomends, that might be too much and it might be gumming up your fuel system. Check your fuel filter and see what it looks like.

I went back to buying regular diesel. The truck is running great, I was just curious if anyone has noticed any mileage issues?

I said the same thing and I asked my son to look also and he said yes $2.89!
1133 E Commonwealth Ave at Raymond in Fullerton.
I look here some times but drove by that station on my way home from my daughters game yesterday.

I am 99% sure Ford will void warrantee if they find out you were running bio-diesel,
