wow digging through the archives ha Vince? 
So on a serious note from a techs perspective , if you where deleted, want your truck to last a while and don't pound the crap out of it , but you do give it a good blow out every once and a while.....would it be wise to run say B-20? I mean good quality B-20.

The problems dont stop at oil dilution. In todays world, all components are machined at such extremely close tolerances. They are extremely sensitive to fuel quality as a result. Although bio has better lubricity than dino, there still is the issue of pressure, heat, combustion. The first thought is cetane ratings. Yes, some folks dont have trouble, you wont see anything until the failure happens, then get out your checkbook. Ford really has tested all scenarios with fuel quality right down to the reason they dont use studs instead of bolts. Theres room for error if you dont exceed B5. The failures I've seen, all fuel components look like they're coated with butter.

Yes oil dillution will be a killer. I watch mine carefully with OA's and I stay away from things like oil that increase the risk.
Heck when I change my filters I shine a lite in the fuel bowl looking for anything.
