Can Bio-diesel be put into these 6.4L engines?

I filled up at Walmart on Zebulon in Macon, GA a couple days ago. The green label said ULSDF less than 15 ppm sulfur, and it said, 10% bio. I put in 30 gallons. I hope mine don't blow up. My only experience.

The only concern would be the filters clogging especially when you combine the good lub qualities of the bio clogging up 6.0 filters and they aren't as particular as the newer ones. I would keep filters handy even running 10% until you know how even that low affects it if you use it on a regular basis.

The maximum amount of Bio-Diesel that can be run in these trucks is B-5, which is 5% Bio. Any more than that and you are risking damaging the DPF on the exhaust, which isn't a cheap fix.
