I have been running different %s of BioD for the last 4+ (over 60k) years without a problem. I run commercially available B99 that I mix at the recommendation of the local BioD coop with #2 to B50 or less in the winter. I seriously doubt my injector size or flow has changed from running it. Good quality BioD that has been properly washed and given time to settle shouldn't have the water content to erode the injector tips on an 01 era truck. I have run everything from B99 to B20 without issue, currently there is mostly b20 with a little #2 so it is probably about B10 right now.
The fuel filter thing. I really recommend that you get a fp gauge, to each his own. When i see the fp start to drop off I change the filter. with the light thingy you are waiting for the fp to get dangerously low, the Fn light is not set up to come on until you are dangerously low on fp and possibly causing damage to the vp44 IMO. Cary a spare ff under the seat at all times and if that light even flickers change it. |
Can you give me a heads up on the fuel pressure gauge thing? Did you buy a kit?
How & where did you install it?
A guy on EBay was selling a kit with enlarged banjo fittings. Is that the way to go? I just installed a new Carter Pump.
the truck I bought came with a low pressure light, but I'd like to know whats really happening
Thanks, Dave
