Be careful guys.
I know bio is cool and cheap but these new engines are very picky with regards to temp and lube issues.
The reason I asked about which truck you have is some engines can probably handle it better than others.
For instance a 7.3 may handle it better than a 6.4.
Just do some homework before you jump and be sure of the quality before you buy.

It's usually 1/2 to 2/3 the price of regular diesel.

But yeah it would be better for someone that had a transfer tank. Or business that consumes a lot of fuel.

i've/we got the processor. me and my neighbor went in on it, then his wife decided to put his ***** back in her purse, so now, the "idea" / processing, sits. The idea was to make it in the garage, but now, thinking about getting a shop/warehouse in fullerton (seadoo, motocycle repair), and making it in it.

Last time I checked on biodiesel in my area, Van Nuys, it was about $1.50 a gallon higher the regular diesel but that was about 4 years ago.
