Brother- fuel crisis or not- I started doing bio months ago- before the fuel insanity. Yes cheaper fuel is always good- but were not even mentioning the loss of fuel system lubrication with low sulfer fuels. I see 100 times more info out now on peoplpe trying to do bio- because they love thier trucks- and want to be able to afford to drive them. Nessesity is the mother of invention- but in this case- Bio has been wide spread for decades- just not here. But nessesity has driven us to seek new ways of keeping our trucks running. and some of us here depend on our trucks to support our families.
As far as clogging the fuel system- thats just not correct- jelling the system in cold weather yes- but unless your making vegtable oil chemical goolash instead of bio- you should have no problems. Actually when I started in Feb. this year- on the water in VA- I kept bio from my batches in glass jars outside in the shade- and it never jelled. But if it started to- then I would have added some diesel to it.
Bio has given me the oppertunity to enjoy driving my truck- and not cringe at the thought of how many gallons/ and how much money it would cost to go here or there. The money I spent building 2 different processor systems has already made itself back in not going to the diesel pump. And I am still expanding. I enjoy being in control - and not a slave to oil companies/gov't/ politics/ and the ever declining dollar.
Please- post here what you know to be true- not here say- thats why I started this thread- to get the facts from people before I started making bio- and let others see my real time experiance as it happens. From there everyone should make thier own choice- and do your own research on what you think is best. As far as my 01 dodge 2500- it has had no problems sucking on bio- not even a cold weather hard start when I first began- can't say as much for the after market fuel pressure sensor- don't think it was to fond of bio- but that may have been a faulty part- I guess I'll see with the one I have in now.
