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.
