I know, I search, but havent found any specifics! I am looking into starting up my own BD project.. Stupid question of the century..
Can a person run their Diesel (7.3di) on straight home made BD?
No adding to current fuel, but use as a complete fuel?
I do, and several others here also run B100. Being that yours is a '94 however, you may need to see if your fuel system lines, seals, etc. are compatible. Not sure when exactly, but in the mid '90's, Ford/International went to viton fuel components. Our 7.3's run great on bio.
Good to know! While completing this swap, everything in the truck was swapped out with the 97 parts, fuel tanks, fuel lines, the whole mess!
Doing the swap, really in order to make sure it worked soundly and doesnt have any issues, I had to essentially build a 97 model! LOL!
I have done a good amount of research on making bio-diesel, and the more I learn, the more I am strongly swayed to starting this process.. I am really amazed with this stuff!
The first link I havent seen, so it will be serious reading time tonight! The second one I did come across, and very informative.. It actually gave me lots to start with and develop from there! Great technical data and specifics!
At first when I started considering this, I was very reluctant and worried about the work and technical aspects of getting into it.. The more I read, the more I learn, the less frightening this looks! One of those sites talked about "running tests on a small scale first".. I like that idea.. Then I can actually see the process in its working state, and get a much better idea!
I am really planning to be running B-100 only from here on out once I get up and going!
One of the guys that use to spend a lot of time on this forum lives in Phoenix. If you are close to there I could email him and see if he would let you see his set-up. I'm sure he would help ya get started.
