I started running B99 today!
Today I got B99 for $3.23 I already had ½ of a tank of diesel but I think I will be running the B99 as long as I can get it for the same or less than diesel. Right now I am at a 50-50 mix but can tell a difference already in the way it smells it reminds me of being in high school working at Pizzeria Uno having to clean out the fryers LOL. I have herd people say that the truck will be quieter on the Biodiesel but I don’t know about that but it dose run smoother and there is a lot less black smoke.
This is the first time running the B99 is there anything that I should watch for? I have a extra fuel filter in the truck just in case. And it is not a home made brew it is commercial I pumped a little into a water bottle it is a clear honey color.

B99
Works great, doesn't it. My station turns the pump April 1st once the temps get higher. I can't wait. This year I will buy about 60 gallons before winter so I can blend it myself next winter.

What is Ford's official take or statement in regards to running bio-diesel in a 6.0??

IIRC, B5 is all they will allow. So, if you have a fuel probelm and they find more than B5 there and they decide to kick up a fuss, you might be arguing for a while

When you use Biodiesel you are not buying foreign oil, supporting american farmers, lowering emissions, and helping your engine.
Just something to think about and reasons why my diesels burn bio
