Using B100 in a 2001 PSD
Anything I need to watch out for besides the fuel filter? I was hoping to find B20 or B50 here in Phoenix, but the single distributor here sells only B100. I'm planning on running it straight, or would it be a better idea to blend it with dino diesel?

It's 70 right now but it's been getting down in the 30s at night. Monday it barely made 60. I think parts of OH were warmer than us. I don't know how much B100 is but when I get it I'll post it here and let you know.

Used B-75 all last winter, NO problems. Most commercial bio is made from fresh oil so has very little smell. I make mine from used cooking oil and most people say it smell's like burnt fried chicken! FABMANDELUX.

I think I'm just gonna run it down as empty as I can and do a 50/50 mix of dino and B100. The truck stop I buy diesel from is only a few miles away from the bio place so it wont be too much of a hassle.

Is there any truth to what people are saying about bio causing injector pumps to fail, or is that something Ford came up with to keep people from using biodiesel? Oh, and when I said "dino" I meant mixing 50% bio and 50% regular diesel or "dinosaur" diesel

Yeah, that's what I did. I'm about half way through my 1st tank of B99 from Western States and so far I really like it. There was one morning last week that it was a little stubborn to start, but it runs so quiet now it's hard to believe it's the same truck. As long as I can get over to where they're at to buy it I'm going to keep using it.
