Biodiesel vs Pump Diesel and EGT's

TEX · 10-25-2009, 10:16 PM

Well we took the camper out this weekend. Went back to my home town...about 2 1/2 hrs---150 miles.

on the way up i was running prob B80+ and never got over 1250 on the EGT gauge no matter what.

on the way home it was reg pump diesel. The highest i got was just a hair over 1400.

I know that reg diesel fuel has more BTUs and this is prob why it was doing this, i just thought is was worth posting.

Good post.................. B80 is a healthy dose of bio, glad to know that the cummins can handle it.
