Bio fuel ?

If it hasn't been mentioned here, know that bio is a better solvent than dino diesel and upon using it for the first time it will dissolve whatever crap is built up in your fuel system and may clog up the fuel filter(s). Other than that I've run B100 all summer when I could get it and the truck runs great.

I did exactly what you said, but the fuel kept coming and coming until: "Hey I have almost 15 quarts of fuel here!"
On top of that, the driveshaft for the front diff is in the way and leaves me VERY little room to navigate and turn the socket wrench to get the lid off. It was very messy and I really wanted to punch the lights out of the Ford engineer who thought that was a good place to put the HFCM.
Do you or anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this?

You didn't see what happened with my last one....

Also, forget the ratchet and socket and use a standard sized filter wrench.

Or use a long extension on your ratchet.

Ahh, how soon we forget. He does have the upgrade thumbscrew type HFCM water drain plug.

Different size lines and it doesn't push the pressure the 6.0 HFCM does.

Tried a full tank of B20 and my 6.0 hates it. I felt the power loss not long after I pulled away from the pump. I ran the tank down to empty and while mileage is usually between high 15s and low 17s, it dropped down to 14.
It's probably just Flying J/Conoco B20, but I'll try walmart next time.
In the meantime, I went back to my usual routine of filling up with the normal ULSD and addding Stanadyne Performance Formula Blue label and my truck had more ***** after that.
