bbigrig Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just make sure if you are going from normal diesel to Bio that you change your fuel filters twice as much as you did before. The Bio is a natural solvent and breaks down the natural algae and film build up in your fuel tank and shoves it through your fuel system. Seen it here in the bus fleet I work on. Switched to Bio, had some issues and due to fuel pricing switched back to reg.

MackMann85 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was told in summer of 2011, so at least that long. I would guess the change happened with 2010 emissions or just after it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32206-bio-fuel/#findComment-200623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceria Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Bio-diesel is the most recent invention by the experts and it is very useful for the automobile industry. It is now use as fuel in place of diesel. Ford now introducing the Bio-diesel engine. The Ford truck now holding the record for diesel and speed. In Auto industry, the trucking companies are getting much more initiatives.

aliceria Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Biodiesel is a better solvent, so some regular diesel fuel lines will get soft and so have to be upgraded and replaced.
