Question Biodiesel

First time here. Has anyone used biodiesel in they're 6.0 diesel? If so did it effect the engine in any way?

Welcome to FTE! I haven't used it but I believe Ford only recommends a B5 which is only 5% to diesel mix.

I have been using it in my 04 ever since new. No ill effects - runs great. I use a commercial soydiesel from this company with these specs https://www.crystalflash.com/files/C...iesel%20XC.jpg

cetane I have found over the years has a lot of effect on my 04 and my 93. This is from personal observation. I would keep with a fuel with a cetane of 45 min.

Ive used it im my 06 6.0, couldnt tell the difference. I might have gotten about 1mpg better fuel economy. Hard to tell cause I did a lot of city driving. Costs about 10c more per gallon here, but don't have to add a fuel additive.

Apparently the FTE link to a pdf file doesn't work right. Here is another http://www.crystalflash.com/products.vml Then go to 8)crystal Flash Soy Diesel XC Hope this one works... Doesn't work but Go to fuels on side tab then go to pulldown menu go to fuels again. then go to #8
